	Author	Review
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Non-judgmental, minutely observed portrait of despair and degradation"	POS
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"A chronicle of despair that's almost entirely unleavened by humor or changes of mood or pace. They should really have called it 'Monotono'."	NEG
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"This is a film which works like an emotional massage, leaving the viewer pummelled but invigorated (...) [It is] Fischer Kjaerulff, as Martin, who gives the most memorable performance"	POS
United States	Kevin Jagernauth IndieWire	"Preposterously sour and filled with an air of self-importance, 'Submarino' sinks like a stone, right to the very bottom."	NEG
	Annika Pham Cineuropa	"The intentionally unemotional portrayal of these anti-heroes ultimately works against the film. The acting is convincing throughout"	NEU
