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

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
