| User ReviewKim Hcomo siempre, nuestro amigo Vinterberg nos deleita con sus intragables peliculas... oscurisimo drama no recomendado para personas sensibles, especialmente porq antes de los primeros 10 minutos ya hay una escena que rompecorazones :( igual, me parecio una obra sublime como todas las de Vinterberg |
| User ReviewJacob DHeart wrenching story. The story not so much about Denmark as it is about human emotions and the difficulties one faces growing up with a single mother who is totally dysfunctional, children without guidance and the toll it takes on subsequent generations. Excellent depiction of human emotions, superb acting. |
| User ReviewAmanda ØSaw Monsieur Lazhar on Tuesday and today i saw Submarino. I gotta say, this movie really gest into your skin. The stoty of two brothers that grew up in a very difficult situation. Submarino was an official selection at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival. |
| User ReviewDavid HDanish director, Thomas Vinterberg, finally distances himself from the pretentious âDogmeâ? style of filmmaking and gifts us with a beautifully made great film with a great story. Adapted from the novel (of the same name), two young boys living with an irresponsible drunken mother become forced to care for their newborn baby brother (shown to us in flashback during the opening scene). The rest of the movie fast-fowards to the present and examines their besetting anger issues manifesting in crime, failed relationships and addiction while attempting to live normally as emotionally damaged adults. Sensitive, shocking, gritty, sad and sweet - I loved this film. |
| User ReviewAlan AA realistic movie about addiction and self destruction.And it has the melancholic atmosphere of scandinavian movies. That makes it a great noir. |
| User ReviewKris SStruggle to balance from a childhood gone wrong in substance abusive danish suburbs. Jakob Cedergren's performance is one of the most brilliant and enigmatic performances I've seen for a while. |
| User ReviewNick OAnother Danish flick in the same eery vein of Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond the Pines" -- with Jakob Cedergren and Peter Plaugborg in the Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper roles, respectively -- Thomas Vinterberg's "Submarino" hits with just as much blunt force as that previous film. It's hard to watch at times, and even harder to stomach afterwards. Like Vinterberg's only months-old "The Hunt", "Submarino" has enough emotional trauma to tranquilize a horse (or dog, in the case of "Hunt".) But it's none of it contrived. The title refers to the method of torture in which a person's head is held under water until the very brink of death. All tragedy all the time, "Submarino" lives up to its namesake in hell and horror. What's great about it is how it manages to outshine the cruelty and heartlessness of the Copenhagen underworld, emerging as a kind of fucked-up miracle. |
| User ReviewAdam EAnother superb film from the director of The Celebration |
| User ReviewLucas MDispite the sentimentalism, Submarino is a very good work from Vinterberg, that presents interestings actings and a captivating screenplay with strong scenes and strong theme. Fresh. |
| User ReviewBjorn OAnother heartwarming family tale from Thomas Vinterberg. |
