      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      Concussion lands a solid, well-acted hit on its impressively timely subject matter, even if its traditional sports drama structure is a little too safe to deserve a full-on dance in the end zone. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Concussion

      • Sep 19, 2019

        CTE is an interesting discovery and if you use this film to jump to the next medium, you'll find so much more. Strong film and sadly a little too safe considering the subject. The film needed to avoid the NFL and actually create a path that showcases the true neglection by a mega corporation. Solid cast and a great change of pace for Will Smith. The conventional storytelling device is a little overbearing at times, but I suspect the studio had a heavy hand in the film due to the subject. This lacks depth, but covering the central character, it does more than okay. 14/09/2019

        In choosing to focus more on the man than the story, the film runs out of gas by the halfway mark.

        A solid performance from Smith with an exploitative look on a recurring problem. Concussion is a splendid and structured story that hits its dramatic strides even with the cautious take. 4/5
