ReviewsRolling Stone - [Ayoade] blends mirth and malice with deadpan brilliance, Sight and Sound - SUBMARINE -- like RUSHMORE -- is very funny largely because of its protagonist's capacity for self-delusion..., Total Film - [W]hat beguiles is that SUBMARINE is the vainglorious arthouse epic a 15-year-old movie buff would see himself starring in....[A]n arch, affectionate portrait of a teenager's mind-scape, New York Times - Mr. Ayoade's keen visual wit and clever, knowing touches keep it surprising and nimble, especially in the quick, lurching early scenes, which are startlingly funny, Uncut - Ayoade lets the film move at a gentle pace, while its idiosyncratic charms often brings to mind RUSHMORE, HAROLD AND MAUDE, or perhaps the youthful exploits of Adrian Mole
