Journeyman is not a pleasurable watch, but as a quietly devastating and heartfelt approach to trauma and those affected by it, it’s a winner.

What are critics saying?
If Considine doesn’t seem to know his characters as intimately as he did in his debut, however, he still knows acting inside out. It’s his unguarded conviction in the lead — and that of a superb Jodie Whittaker as his devoted but devastated wife — that finally lands Journeyman a victory on points, if not quite a knockout blow.
Screen International by Nikki Baughan
Considine’s strong central performance gives the film an emotional resonance.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
Journeyman is flawed, but intelligent and heartfelt.
Journeyman may be intimate but it never feels small.
The Telegraph by Robbie Collin
Considine resists the usual narrative urges to bring down any kind of judgement or redemption, or to “make sense” of Matty’s story beyond the sense he himself can make of it. The film is not looking for a scapegoat. It just lets its characters live.
