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.

Haunting, painful, and beautiful

This is one of those films that you can't stop thinking about days after watching. It doesn't seem like much right after you've finished it, but it keeps nagging at you. The subject matter is handled extremely well- it's blunt, but not degrading, sympathetic, but not unrealistic. It's a shame that this was a tv movie; I think it would have gained some attention if it had been released in theaters. All of the actors were brilliant. Recovery feels very, very real, and I highly recommend checking it out.

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!!

Came for David Tennant, stayed for the movie

This movie had a fantastic message and cast, they didn't make it sappy or had 2 dimensional characters. They were real people, feeling real things. Coping with a life changing accident or illness doesn't make them only a victim, they are still people.

Just because the family expresses discomfort and refuse to be saintly doesn't mean they are not loving or trying.

Not easy watch but what a watch.

I absolutely loved David Tennant, Sarah Parish & Harry Treadway

I absolutely loved that Sarah's character, didn't want to be carer or mother and stubbornly wanted her partner back.

Because most of the time that's what we slip too don't we.

But seriously absolutely fantastic movie.

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]
