Leave your thoughts about Submergence.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfMuch of "Submergence" remains frustratingly inert and vague, as though the helmer never wanted to commit to a single idea, instead offering several half-baked concepts with hopes something might stick. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Erin FreeA quiet meditation on how love can be an oasis in a cruel and violent world, Submergence is a strong work from a bona fide cinematic master. |
| Cinemanía (Spain)Toni VallAn improvable but valuable work. [Full review in Spanish] |
| National PostChris KnightCan a bio-mathematician and a CIA operative meet-cute? They can in Wim Wenders' newest film. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn intriguing romantic thriller that takes us into dangerous otherworlds beyond our world. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake WilsonThis is the film of an old man who has retained a humble, almost naive attitude to experience, an awareness there are depths he has left unplumbed. There is something quite moving about this. |
| 3AWJim SchembriPatience is a quality you need to endure a lot of Wim Wenders' work, and sometimes the payoffs have been terrible. Here, though, is one of his more inclusive and absorbing works that rewards the attention he demands. |
| The New Paper (Singapore)Joanne SohDirector Wim Wenders has an ambitious global message about the environment and terror attacks, but his execution leaves this film and his lovely cast submerged under water. |
| Seattle WeeklyRobert HortonI did like the Germanic sobriety Wenders applies to the material-you never doubt something is at stake, even if the storytelling pieces don't always pay off. |
| Adelaide ReviewDavid 'Mad Dog' BradleyVikander and McAvoy are both gorgeous here and there's a lovely look to the production too, yet this philosophises itself into a corner. |
