Deadline | ‘Concussion’ Review
Deadline
The new film Concussion is not only a timely drama about the discovery and effect of brain trauma that has led to the death of numerous football players, but it’s also a touching and important movie that puts a human face on immigration — in this case one very special man named Dr. Bennet Omalu. He is the Nigerian who as a top forensics pathologist discovered and revealed what is now known as CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy), which can only be diagnosed after death. This is almost ripped from the headlines, as just last week it was revealed the late Frank Gifford suffered from CTE, a carryover from decades earlier as a football great.
