Levine writes and shoots enough scenes in inventive ways to make this mildly-frustrating melodrama work.

Tucci is wonderful, but Timlin comes close to eating him up almost as thoroughly as her character does his.

Submission is not a bad film — it just feels like an early draft.
60
Despite many script problems, Levine has kept the film tightly coiled and engrossing throughout.

Like a time-traveler who sets into motion the same fate they’re trying to undo, Submission is so desperate not to become a cliché that it ultimately wastes a golden opportunity to become something more.
