    • Trivia
      Paddy Considine and some of the crew visited a centre run by UK brain injury charity Headway in 2016 while preparing for and researching the role. Paddy spent time talking to their clients about their lives, both pre and post brain injury in order to grasp how their brain injuries had affected them. In the film, Matty displays some mannerisms that Paddy observed during the visit. They also made a donation of £500 to the charity.

    A Different Kind of Sports Film
    A really different boxing film, so much so that the boxing is barely the focus. Journeyman is very much a drama, not a sports film, as you follow the journey of a professional boxer recovering from a brain injury. It is difficult to watch at times and can get emotional, and this is driven by brilliant performances from the two leads. There isn't a whole lot to the plot, don't be expecting a sudden burst of excitement, but it is a slow build testing the depths of a man and his relationship with his family.
