Am not a big fan of depressing socially relevant dramas--however if you are you will love Submarino.
The film shows how destructive alcoholic parents can be. We follow two boys who are neglected by an alcoholic mother.
Most of the film is devoted to following these two boys now in their 30s for a short time. They have separately developed dysfunctional lives themselves.
The oldest boy can be violent and has served time for it. The younger brother is a heroin addict with a young son.
A side plot was lifted from Mice and Men by Steinbeck--a socially isolated inept man murders a girl. It is done quite convincingly. Watch it to see.
