- 80Time OutPhil de SemlyenTime OutPhil de SemlyenJourneyman may be intimate but it never feels small.
- 80The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinConsidine 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.
- 70VarietyGuy LodgeVarietyGuy LodgeIf 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.
