Submarine

First impressions:If you’ve ever felt like an Oliver Tate, this movie will hit home. It’s a standout coming-of-age story—awkward, introspective, and emotionally raw. The score is beautiful and elevates the entire experience. More in-depth:Of all the coming-of-age stories, this one stands out for me. It nails the nuances of growing up—trying to be a good person while stumbling through the lessons along the way. It’s heartfelt, honest, and something I’d definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it.
