Submarine

From my 2011 Leftovers Marathon, part 10 of 14.



Submarine, 2011. A teenager worries about his parents' marriage at the expense of his own relationship.

Written & directed by Richard Ayoade, based on a book by Joe Dunthorne. Starring Craig Roberts & Yasmin Paige.

Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 3/4 (Good)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). It goes through the motions of a movie I should like, but it doesn't work. An occasional good sense of humor makes it more-or-less watchable.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.5/4 (Okay)
