Concussion

Concussion (2013) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Stacie Passon. Abby is forty-two, with a comfortable suburban house, a wife and two kids — until a baseball to the head knocks her settled life off its axis.

The injury leaves her restless. The home, the school runs, the marriage — all of it suddenly feels too small. So Abby starts driving into the city and, under the name Eleanor, begins seeing women as an escort, less for the money than to feel like a person again instead of just "the mom." Robin Weigert plays her with a quiet, unforced calm, a woman who doesn't fully understand what she's after.

Passon's debut premiered at Sundance, with Maggie Siff of Mad Men opposite Weigert. It's a small, grown-up film about midlife, desire and the cost of a double life — no judgment, no easy answers. Stream Concussion (2013) online on iFILM.
