Concussion (2015)


The story of Bennett Omalu's important work establishing the links between American football and brain injury works best as a human drama between people who prefer to 'leave things alone' versus those like Omalu who can't, and the movie offers food for thought about the ability to causally link specific behaviours to brain trauma, but the not always convincing framing of the movie as a corporate thriller and some Hollywood flourishes towards the end are a disservice to this fascinating drama.

★★★☆☆
