Concussion

Concussion

Certainly the most exciting queer debut of 2013, Stacie Passon’s “Concussion” is worth celebrating for a number of reasons. The script is refreshingly blunt and Robin Weigert’s central performance is among the best of the year. Beyond that, however, Passon’s commitment to intriguing new ideas around marriage and relationships articulate an alternative to the potential mainstreaming of heteronormative American society in the queer community. Or, to be less fancy about it, “Concussion” is the kind of thoughtful debut that we don’t see too often, and even less so when it comes to lesbian characters.
