Our take

Ten years before his Oscar® win for Another Round, Thomas Vinterberg examined the dark side of Denmark’s welfare state with this harrowing drama. Through a pair of remarkable central performances, Submarino lends a hard-earned grace to its spiritual portrait of unimaginable hardship and survival.
