Funny, believable, and a happy ending with no saccharine
The best movie I have seen this year. Whilst I'm sure more in depth reviews will find flaws I was completely won over by this film.

Great writing, genuinely funny. For me , very evocative of an English childhood. Super performances from the entire cast.

Hilarious turn from Paddy Considine (he is never in a duff movie!).

I think this small budget movie deserves to become a DVD cult hit.

Very entertaining.

As a rule I don't buy DVDs as they sit on the shelf for years before a second look.

I will be making an exception for Submarine.

Bravo!

Quotes

Oliver Tate: Her new boyfriend has an incredibly long neck. Just thinking about giraffes makes me angry.

Goofs

Oliver gets a VHS video of Graham's presentation from Graham's house. When Oliver's seen in his bedroom watching Graham on telly the empty case with Graham's picture is actually the size of an audio cassette (for comparison another audio cassette case can be seen to the left of the screen.) The implication is that Oliver is watching the "video tape" but the only tape device present is for audio cassette, besides which it is clear that the tape player is empty. Other views reveal that that there is NO video tape machine in Oliver's room.

Crazy Credits

The Art Director Sarah Pasquali is credited also as "woman who looks nothing like Jordana".
