COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Film submitted by Beth Manuel on July 18, 2016, 2:22pm I'd recommend this film if you are interested in football, concussions, have a child who plays football or if you're a Will Smith fan. Even if you are none-of-the above, watch it!

yes! submitted by manz on July 23, 2016, 8:27pm A really good film. Great acting. It's a good story and amazing to think what football players go through.

Wow submitted by DL on June 20, 2017, 2:55pm Great acting by Will Smith and a great story about the effects of concussions and brain trauma on NFL players.

Concussion submitted by SBNB on July 7, 2021, 1:23pm This was a really good movie. I remembered hearing about football causing brain damage, but I never got into the specifics. This movie told a great story based on true occurrences. Yes, some things were exaggerated to enhance the drama, but it was mostly true and very interesting.
