The movie has received strong reviews, earning an 85% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 39 critics. The Sun newspaper praised it as “a truly astounding piece of work.”
The boxing movie Journeyman is a standout drama with real impact, and a reminder of Paddy Considine’s talent, according to Empire. The Mirror simply called it a ‘knockout’.
Paddy Considine is one of the few British actors consistently delivering performances that impress and showcase his range, according to CineVue.
According to The Independent, Journeyman is a skillfully made and thoughtful drama, but it struggles to create a hopeful conclusion given the inherently dark nature of its story.
Jodie Whittaker is famous for playing the Doctor in Doctor Who. Since leaving the show in 2022, she’s continued to work on several projects, including the Netflix series Toxic Town and the ITV drama Frauds.
The actor recently talked about how challenging it was to take on such a famous science fiction part, particularly being the first woman to play the Doctor.
According to an interview with The Times, Jodie Whittaker felt immense pressure taking on the role of the Doctor. She explained that while a poor performance from Peter Capaldi would only have impacted him personally, she worried that her failure would negatively affect future actors hoping to play the part. She felt it was crucial she succeeded, and the thought of letting others down weighed heavily on her.
She remembered experiencing online harassment based on her gender and explained that while negativity often dominates, positive feedback is more subtle. She also pointed out that the show she was on was unique and didn’t really have anything similar to it.
Everyone knows the iconic words and images of Doctor Who – the Tardis, Daleks, ‘exterminate!’ – but up until now, all the Doctors have been played by white actors. While each actor was different, they all followed a certain pattern – a pattern I didn’t fit.
Journeyman is streaming now on Channel 4.
