Journeyman (2017 Paddy Considine & scr)

Combination of short cinematic scenes and a good eye for detail (that shot of the river in there early) renders this tale concise and moving. Paddy's performance is outstanding (no major awards) yet he still has time to elicit great acting from Jody Whittaker, Tony Pitt, Paul Popplewell and Anthony Welsh (as the other boxer).

Photographed by Laurie (male) Rose (Stan and Ollie, Peaky Blinders 3, Ben Wheatley films), music Harry Escott, editing Pia Di Ciaula.

Perhaps one too many montages to music at the end. I liked Jodie Whittaker's bra!


Overall, really impressed. Now need to watch Tyrannosaur again.
