Ninja love child

Submarine (2010)

Directed by Richard Ayoade this film based on the novel of the same name stars Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Noah Taylor, Paddy Considine and Sally Hawkins. A 15 year old boy falls in love while his parents appear to be falling out of love.

There are many coming of age tales out there and this one is told with some personality and humour thanks to the highly quirky protagonist. It is very easy to sit back and enjoy this well told tale of youthful misunderstanding as an immature person tries to deal with mature situations. I like the way the direction reflects the pretentious attitude of the main character using hints of French New Wave and the like to accentuate the story telling.


4/5
