A crowd favourite at the 2010 Toronto Inter-‐ national Film Festival®

Fifteen-‐year-‐old Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts, Jane Eyre) has two big ambitions: to save his parents’ marriage via carefully plotted intervention and to lose his virginity before his next birthday. Worried that his mom (the always delightful Sally Hawkins, Made in Dagenham, Jane Eyre) is having an affair with New Age weirdo Graham (a hilarious Paddy Considine, Hot Fuzz, The Bourne Ultimatum), Oliver monitors his parents’ sex life by charting the dimmer switch in their bedroom. He also forges suggestive love letters from Mom to Dad. His love interest Jordana (a spirited performance by newcomer Yasmin Paige) is refreshingly complicated; a self-‐professed pyromaniac, she supervises Oliver’s journal writing – especially the bits about her. When necessary, she orders him to cross things out.

Based on Joe Dunthorne’s acclaimed novel, Submarine is a captivating coming-‐of-‐age story with an offbeat edge.
