WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Boxer Matty Burton (Considine) defends his title in the ring one last time, only to come out with a severe head injury that alters his personality and most of his motor skills. His wife Emma (Whittaker) is left to care for him as well as their infant daughter, but the road to recovery is going to be much harder than any of them would have anticipated…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Paddy Considine’s second film as a director is a powerful and extraordinarily emotional film about a man overcoming incredible odds to become the man he used to be once more.
