amazing piece of drama

I'm so glad I taped this film when it came on BBC last month! It blew my mind, so gut wrenching and real. David Tennant is absolutely fabulous in this, even though his character isn't always that easy to like or identify with. The final scene where he plays the song just broke my heart, those eyes....

I'm guessing that he made this film in between the Dr. Who series, and that makes it even more of an achievement for me. I just love Dr. Who and yet I saw absolutely nothing of him in Mr. Tennants portrayal of this man who knows that he has changed and struggles to create some sort of new identity and life.

great little intense drama!

accurate

When I saw this on TV I was nervous...whats if they messed it up? Millions of families like mine that live with a brain damaged man, in my case my Dad, would be let down. I watched it with my Mum and we both ended up crying, it was so accurate and captured how the family feels as well as the person having suffered the brain injury. The actors were all wonderful and I had no complaints, my Mums told me she hasn't been able to stop thinking about it. I hope this program made many people aware of what it's like living with brain damage and what it's like for the families. More programs like this should be made, I was surprised at how good it was and it's really shook me up emotionally.

Drama - Recovery

David Tennant and Sarah Parish's brilliant acting had me in tears as many of the scenes were so familiar to me. My husband suffered a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage in 1977 and required a major operation which involved lifting his brain and plugging the leak. Like Tricia I was naive enough to expect that he would return to being his former self. After over 25 years of loving and caring for him he abandoned me without warning to go and live with a woman he hardly knew. He then petitioned for and I am now going through a divorce. I do hope the programme helped people to understand what it is like to cope with brain injury.

Incredibly accurate movie about brain damage!!

This movie made me cry like a infant! I've had brain injury myself and all the complications in day to day life shown in movie was so accurate!! I was blown away, I watched this just because of David Tennant. And he did deliver unbelievable character, with all the confusion. And when you have brain damage, you don't understand it yourself, you think you are totally alright! But you aren't.. Wifes difficulties I recognized very well, my spouse from that time had same questions, when this is over.. Well it never is.. To sum up: This is incredible movie about brain damage and life after the damage!! This should be shown in hospitals to all familys of brain damege patients!! Definately!!

David Tennant is the most emotive man on the planet, and brain damage is NOT the end.

This movie is the most powerful, emotional, and inspiring movie I have ever seen. The description of brain damage like a road network is brilliant. This is a heartfelt, and definitely heartBREAKING, tale of the struggle of man who no longer understands his own brain. Everything is difficult, people are mad at him for something he doesn't remember doing, even though it just happened yesterday. Themes are: confusion, frustration, anger, fear, hopelessness and love. David Tennant expresses the stress and rejection Alan experiences, beautifully. He is angry, sobbing, sullen to the point of laying in bed wishing to turn off his whole brain. The ending is complex, and designed to be judged differently, depending on your viewpoint. Personally, I find it sweet.

Citas
Alan Hamilton: [to his son before he leaves for university] Long-term memory, okay? When you were three you had this, um, big... juicy fruit... orange, orange car that you sat in and you pushed with your feet. Only, you never did it yourself, 'cause you always got me to push you everywhere. And Mum used to get upset with you for being lazy, but I could make you go fast, I could give you a nice ride. Thing is, right, now, I know I can't do anything for you that's even that simple anymore. And half the time I'm gonna *be* the boy in the orange car. But... I'm *so* proud of what you can do now, and what you've done. And a couple of months ago I was jealous of your future, 'cause I haven't got one to speak of, but my life now is gonna be what happens to you. And you. Before, I thought that I was the main event, and the breadwinner and the go-getter... now I'm just happy watching you. So... good luck, son.
[he hugs him]
