Submarine

Now this is meta. This movie is very very cool. I love nothing more than a realistic and relatable romance film. This movie subverting expected tropes of a romance film to hit us with a sucker punch of reality as Oliver has is one of my favourite things this film has done. I feel like this is how my first relationship was and seeing it on screen made me realise how stupid and horrific for each other we were. I also do not think there is a more accurate representation of what a shit hole secondary school is like in the UK. Also what a soundtrack too oh my bloody lord it had some good needle drops in there. From the moment Oliver said that he thinks about people's reactions to him dying I KNEW that this movie was for me.
