Submission (2017)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA:
Directed by: Richard Levine
Starring: Stanley Tucci (Ted Swenson), Addison Timlin (Angela Argo), Kyra Sedgwick (Sherrie Swenson), Colby Minifie (Ruby Swenson), Janeane Garofalo (Magda), Peter Gallagher (Len)
Country: USA; Effed Up American Cinema
Language: English (Optional Eng Subs)
Runtime: 01:46:21
Genres: Older-Younger Relationships

Plot – Spoilers:
A writer, Ted Swenson, waiting for inspiration to follow up on his moderately successful debut novel has been teaching a creative writing course to swallow up the waiting period. But a decade has now passed and with a grown daughter who doesn’t think much of him, Ted has almost settled into being just another middle-aged man in a comfortable marriage with nothing other than his sardonic way with words to suggest he will be anything but this in another ten years.

But then a young woman in his class, Angela catches his mind. She’s got some talent. It also helps that she’s attractive, claims to be his fan and writes erotic stories which she insists he reads. And these stories always seem to focus on the sexual adventures of older men with young girls. So Ted ends up being blind to Angela’s glaring pushiness and takes an awkward tumble.

Submission came out during the peak of MeToo and seems like a reaction to that and the increasing PC culture that had been emerging on college campuses. But it’s also maybe just a tale of what ambition coupled with manipulation can unleash.

A garota quer se dar bem e manipula o professor parece que isso Stanley tucci e um bom ator mas esse filme não tem nada de perturbador e até bem comum uma jovem se relacionando com seu professor pra depois o acusar de assédio bem comum nota 5

Rehashed story based on David Mamet’s play which was turned in to a movie called “Oleanna” (1994) starring William H. Macy. From the beginning Tucci’s character “Ted” is unlikeable. You can clearly see the moment in the film when everyone is thinking “Don’t do it.” It is well acted by everyone involved but it is Kyra Sedgwick who steals the show with her performance at the dinner table albeit brief. The movie “Oleanna’ starring Macy is a better film (and more effed up too) but this one is pretty good as well. Worth watching for Sedgwick’s performance alone. 4 stars. Editor’s note: Watch at around the 21 minute mark in the film when they mention me.

an interesting movie. a bit exaggerated about the whole harassment affair. I wonder that ms.argo has not eyes for anyone in her classroom , just for the professor.female hypergamy.99% of male population are invisible to women…

Kind of a slow and boring movie. I only watched to find out what Angela’s true motives were. I cringed when Ted was dumb enough to go to her dorm room. I even warned him from my living room but he wouldn’t listen.
Sherrie was an unbelievable character. She was almost too perfect of a wife. She was loyal, loving, supportive and always well presented….No one would cheat on her.
I give it a 6/10

Boring movie with unoriginal plot. 0/10. If Angela was a cute little boy and the teacher was twice as old I would’ve given it a 6.

It makes no sense saying this movie came out as a reaction to MeToo, yes it came it in same year as that movement but most movies take at least a year to release between production and post production, not to mention this has a big time actor like Stanley Tucci so it’s not like one of those shitty micro budget movies where you can churn out in a couple of months !
