Running time: 97 minutes

Submarine is the coming-of-age story of Oliver Tate, a 15-year-old who lives in Wales and who, at the same time, has to go through his first love and the troubled relationship of his parents. This movie is based on the book of the same name written by Joe Dunthorne,

I really appreciated this film, as it really takes you deep into the life and mind of this boy who is about to become a man. Craig Roberts, a young Welsh actor I don’t know much about, did a very good job here, truly bringing the character of Oliver Tate to life.

I recognized myself in some of the thoughts of the main character in Submarine, since I had the same at that age. I did not necessarily have the same path and life, but some of the thoughts I truly identified with.

Overall, Submarine is a very good movie. Took a few weird turns and ended ambiguously, but really worth a watch.
