    Its just not for everyone

    Im pissed and super annoyed. I just simply dont like the situation that lead the professor to.. better watch to understand.

    Love entanglement

    Ancient history repeats itself in the modern college campus.Stanley Tucci does a good job of acting.

    Had so much more potential!

    Despite strong performances and good direction this film fizzles out and leaves you disappointed with too many unanswered questions.

    "Submission" is a slow roller coaster ride of emotions and mild surprises

    The lines between a semi-successful, middle-aged novelist/professor and his student are crossed: lines of deceit, intimacy and manipulation. It's a #metoo movement highlighter with the good ol' cliche storyline of a student/teacher relationship and touches on the depths that some will go for success. "Submission" is a slow roller coaster ride of emotions and mild surprises. There is no drop and no climax so if a slow ride is what you desire, press play.

    Her word vs His word

    A situation quite similar to real life situations.

    Her word is always powerful against his word combined with her crocodile tears. Dudes, always record interactions with a female during courtship or dating or even one night stands, or you'll be in a vulnerable situation where society is ready to crucify you.

    • Trivia
      L'ange bleu (1930) is referenced several times, with Ted Swenson even watching a scene from it at one point. Among them is their running time; both films are exactly 106 minutes. That film inspired the novel "Blue Angel" by Francine Prose, of which this film is an adaptation.
