PICK Submarine – A dramedy directed by Richard Ayoade, starring Craig Roberts, Noah Taylor, and Sally Hawkins which tells the story of Oliver Tate, a self-absorbed 15 year-old with two major feats on his to-do list: 1. devise a calculated plot to save his parents’ marriage, and 2. lose that pesky virginity of his before his next birthday.
As far as coming-of-age protagonists go, Oliver isn’t entirely likable. He’s melodramatic and kind of a manipulative little punk, but nevertheless, you root for him. Submarine feels at once refreshingly new, and tenderly worn and familiar, like an old blanket. The film marks a wistful directorial debut from Ayoade, who is definitely someone you’re going to want to keep your eye on for more great things to come.
