Concussion, which stars Will Smith as a doctor troubled by findings in an autopsy of a former pro-football player, llacks the exciting filmmaking that rises to the level of its outrageous topic. Full review
The NYTimes
There's much to admire about this film: the story, the man behind the story, the great care it takes to tell its story. For this alone, "Concussion" deserves to be seen. Full review
Common Sense Media
Hardly mandatory pre-Super Bowl viewing for football junkies. But wait. Maybe it should be. Full review
Rolling Stone
The film's attempt to marry an earnest public-health expose with a corporate-malfeasance thriller and a sweet immigrant love story never comes together in a satisfying way. Full review
