My favourite PLANET OF THE APES entry is Tim Burton’s version. What’s also true is that I’ve watched it with two different partners who both love it, and that approval ratings for this Swansea-set coming-of-age comedy drama are consistently high. What’s true is that I just don’t enjoy SUBMARINE. Unless we’re talking FARGO of course, containing a couple of almost sympathetic characters. For example, ask me to describe most Coen Brothers’ films and I’ll tell you “quirksome”. Its influences are perhaps out of my comfort zone and I’ve never been a fan of irreverence. I don’t actually feel qualified to judge or review this film. It is very British in its coldly detached tone, carrying minimal sentiment but still managing to be touching. When Ayoade does bring the blatant, Paddy Considine’s mulleted creep feels a little forced and cartoony, bringing to mind Patrick Swayze’s character and DONNIE DARKO a film which totally nails the 80s nostalgia but perhaps laid on a little thick in places. The way people walk, talk and look doesn’t feel out of place in 2019 or any other time between now and then. The setting is the 1980s, but apart from one very notable exception, director Richard Ayoade (big afro from THE IT CROWD) doesn’t waste energy laying on any mulleted, pop nostalgia.
