Featuring an acclaimed cast headed by Stanley Tucci, Kyra Sedgwick and Addison Timlin, Submission is about lust, desire, and what happens when a professor gets entangled with a seductive student. Ted Swenson (Tucci) is a struggling author who teaches writing at a small liberal arts college. He is discontent in his marriage to Sherrie (Sedgwick), drinks too much, dislikes his colleagues and is uninspired by his students. That is until the charming student, Angela (Timlin), shows up in class. Ted begins focusing on nurturing her career, but it’s only time before lines are crossed and it becomes unclear whether Ted is predator or prey and Angela is victim or victimizer.

Critics Consensus: It's thoughtful and well-acted, but Submission falls frustratingly short in its attempt to offer insightful commentary through its timely premise.

Daniel Howat

Submission keeps the audience engaged with a slight but well-told story, it just might leave you wanting a little bit more. It’s still a respectable film on its own but rarely digs deep enough into this complex issue to have anything surprising to say.

David Walsh

For its intelligence and clear-eyed approach to things, Submission is worth viewing.

Levine's script misses the opportunity to get in the ring and wrestle with the messy place occupied by consensual but regrettable sex.

Tucci and company make the film compelling, and although we know where things are headed, the occasional detour here and there makes for an interesting journey.

There should be more outrage, more compassion, more something - yet the film can't capitalize on its hot-button premise.
