This movie felt like a bunch of random beaufiful footages stitched together.

Four kinds of love are represented in this movie: the love of a man for a woman, the love for God (the jihad-thing), the love for the planet (symbolized by Danny's job) and the love for truth (James's spy job). Unfortunately, one more kind ofFour kinds of love are represented in this movie: the love of a man for a woman, the love for God (the jihad-thing), the love for the planet (symbolized by Danny's job) and the love for truth (James's spy job). Unfortunately, one more kind of love, probably the most important for a movie, is missing here: the love for filmmaking. Despite the title and the indisputable good performance from James McAvoy (not really sure about Alicia Vikander), the movie often lingers on a superficial dimension, never dragging the audience into the depth of the characters' feelings. The ending result is an annoying emotional detachment. Expand

While it might be considered unfair to start questioning Wim Wenders and his volatile quality as a filmmaker, it will always be fair to judge the film at hand and I have to say that like with Every Thing Will Be Fine, Submergence is a bitterWhile it might be considered unfair to start questioning Wim Wenders and his volatile quality as a filmmaker, it will always be fair to judge the film at hand and I have to say that like with Every Thing Will Be Fine, Submergence is a bitter disappointment that can only be rescue because of its two lead actors and that's just a small dose of consolation because the hand and talent of the director aren't anywhere to be seen.

Maybe the same might be said for this strange and at times strained production. At one stage, it looked as if the moviemakers may have been wanting to create the equivalent of a modern remake of classics like “Peter Ibbotson” or “Wuthering Heights”- about deep bonding - a love of such depth that even during cruel and certain severance, the lovers could connect with each other in a fantasy or spiritual world. Maybe these lovers didn’t have enough time together to convince us they were now inseparable. There are times and situations where love can develop quicker than normal but, it also needs more time to be convincing as eternally enduring. There also seemed to be too much mystery surrounding James McAvoy’s character to help us fully understand the extreme treatment at the hands of his Jihadist captors – still, it was refreshing to note his dedication to his faith, and his home country - quite a rarity in modern Hollywood type movies. There’s lots of visual style, very good performances, an interesting music score, and it is more accessible than some of Wenders’ other works but overall, something seems to be missing. Have certainly seen far worse, but maybe needed stronger plot development. Expand

(Mauro Lanari)
Love story between the two protagonists who meet asking themselves nice questions about the meaning of life and its relationship with depth and darkness in a film devoid of both, lost among bizarre and divided activities in alternating editing and eyeline matches. The quote of "L'Atalante" is useless.
