an overly complex multi-pronged drama; Choked by overwrought trappings and suffocated by an unforgiving narrative structure, Wim Wenders' "Submergence" is only bolstered by a pair of sterling performances from stars Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy
a mostly effective love story; James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander make a photogenic pair in this sometimes sweepingly romantic film, the most roundly satisfying fiction feature Wenders has made
"Submergence", on paper at least, has marketable elements, notably its marquee actors, but in reality it's too listless and downbeat to find much of an audience
