Journeyman

Journeyman (2018) is a British drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Paddy Considine, who also stars alongside Jodie Whittaker.

Matty Burton wins a world title fight. Then a single blow during the bout triggers a traumatic brain injury that strips away the man his family knew. Memory, personality, the ability to hold a conversation — gone or scrambled. His wife Emma, played by Whittaker, holds the household together while Matty goes through the grinding, unglamorous work of relearning who he is.

Considine shot this on a modest budget and without a single false note. There are no rousing training montages, no redemptive knockout. What he made instead is a quiet study of what it costs a family to survive catastrophic injury — and how much of recovery is carried by the people standing next to the patient.
