submarine (miff film #8)

I loved every part of Submarine. From seeing Noah Taylor again (where have you been? And, man you got skinny!), to the terrific acting of Craig Roberts (he plays fifteen-year-old Oliver, whose coming of age the film documents), to the score by Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner (i.e. my husband).

Initially, I was somewhat distracted by Oliver’s face as I tried to think of who it reminded me of. I finally had my ‘ah ha’ moment and decided it was James McAvoy. And after being slightly distracted by thinking of James McAvoy, I returned my concentration to the British gem unfolding before me.

I don’t want to say too much about the film, just that everyone should go and see it. Really.

5 stars!
