Review: Submarine
“Everything from breaking up the movie into chapters (titles rendered in trendy fonts) to faux-New Wave montages, to doubling-up on visual information with unnecessary voice-over (for instance, as Hawkins and Considine leave a restaurant together and enter his crystal-covered van, Oliver announces to the viewer: “It seems dear Mom is having an affair.”), all provide escapism, not for the audience into the movie, but for the movie away from itself.”
