| Cape Argus / The Star Stephanie Merry  Smith delivers in hard-hitting drama. | 10 |  |
| Cape Times Stephen Faber Pro football drama comes to a head. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy An important film that's certainly worth seeing, both for its message and artistry, Concussion is hard-hitting, but drives down the field and scores with ease. | 14 |  |

| CommonSenseMedia Staff evaluation Football is the villain in earnest but predictable drama. | 10 | |
