Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Tucci is the most unflappable of actors, which makes Ted’s inevitable and dramatic flapping all the more terrible and amusing to witness.
New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
A seriously considered film brimming with ideas worth examining.

Observer
Rating: 2/4 --
The film squanders some dramatic possibilities and has a truncated sense about it. We are left to wonder whether something went wrong with the script, or in the editing room, or both.

San Francisco Chronicle
Rating: B+ --
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.

Levine, who wrote the script, knows how to stage an energized intellectual battle...
Variety
SUBMISSION, adapted from Prose’s novel, seems especially timely. With a strong cast headed by Stanley Tucci, Kyra Sedgwick and young actress Addison Timlin, the film seems likely to find an audience and stir plenty of debate.
Hollywood Reporter
Honoring the primacy of language for his characters, Levine deftly reveals the ways they wield it to seduce, attack, manipulate, repress and, occasionally, to communicate.

Product Description:
Frustrated college English professor Ted (Stanley Tucci), bored with his mundane marriage and dealing with writer's block, is suddenly inspired by promising female student Angela (Addison Timlin). His interest in her soon evolves into an obsession, turning the teacher-student relationship into one of manipulation and exploitation. Written and directed by Richard Levine, SUBMISSION is based on the novel BLUE ANGEL by Francine Prose.
