	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Ayoade, the British comic making a remarkable feature debut with his adaptation of Joe Dunthorne's 2008 novel, blends mirth and malice with deadpan brilliance (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Significance can be overrated, and “Submarine” makes the most of its whimsical triviality (...) At moments he approaches the mordant, heady sense of the sorrows and freedoms of youth captured by François Truffaut in 'The 400 Blows'"	POS

United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"'Submarine' is one of a kind"	POS
