wow. i didn't know what to expect coming into this one. i just... it was tragic and beautiful and more than i could've expected. the more of david's work i watch, the more talented he becomes in my eyes. i'm just so baffled.
Wow, my son had a traumatic brain injury and spent 4 months in a coma. When he became aware it was the happiest and saddest day of my life He didn't recognize us. My son was 19 would never return. That was 6 years ago. D.T. did a perfect portrayal of someone who struggles with sequencing and emotion called a blunted affect. Thank you for downloading,and taking the risk. perhaps someone will learn and be understanding of the behavior and struggles of someone with a brain injury.
Simply wonderful acting by al the main actors and actresses. I think David Tennant has done it once, again. Just when I thought there miht have been some area and subject he hadn't yet covered (and covered well, at that), I was proven wrong. But, I am GLAD that I was proven wrong about this. :)
I watched this when it was shown on BBC its amazing and i am so glad i found it on youtube means i can share it with friends :) thank you so much for sharing :D
Awww! :D Such a great movie! The acting is outstanding! It's scarily realistic but touching at the same time. I hated Tricia but her actor was very good... and David Tennant.... just phenomenal.
though out the whole thing i told myself i wouldn't cry but those last 3 minutes got me and i have to admit i did cry at the end.
this is really good and DT is amazing. he really can do anything, from doctor who, to casanova, to single father to hamlet to this. really just wow. thanks for uploading!
i dont normally see the point in setting up a username to comment on things but after watching that film i wanted to personally thank you for the time you took to upload it as it was emotional to watch something done so precise in acting instead of over dramatised for tv
I know this has been said a lot, but thank you very much for uploading this. It hasn't been broadcast in France, so I'm very glad I could watch it here!
And David Tennant is such a brilliant actor! My heart is breaking everytime he cries.
Thank you for uploading this movie. I’ve been wanting to see this, since I discovered about David Tennant. It was emotional and just amazing. David is the most beautiful human being in the world. Not only that, but he is also a great actor, and I love him. The best performance ever. David Tennant will always be in my heart.
Amazing story, very emotional, I have never been in this situation and I wouldnt wish it on anyone. It was portrayed brilliantly by both David Tennant and Sarah Parish. Amazing acting and it must have been hard to film.
I hope this raises awareness of how it affects families with people who have brain damage and also how hard it is for the actually brain damaged person to live a normal life.
@5:40 I could imagine I was dancing with him make him happy. I put his head on my shoulder and saying ti him it's ok it's ok just remember you were back in the Tardis with me and we were flying around in space.
this movie was incredible!! so moving, and so i can't even say. The sad part is that it happens to a lot of Coma patients. Their behavior changes and everything. And David Tennant is a brilliant and beautiful actor and he just brings such life to every character. And sarah parish is just flawless i love watching her work all the time.
BRAVO! round of applause to David and Sarah. David is so amazing, gah! He has so much range. He really gets into the characters he roles and plays them in such a tremendous way. brilliant this is one of my fdavorites, by far.
This has affected me worse than Requiem For A Dream, the content is different, but the sheer shock of it all and the stir of emotion it brings out. but the actors, my god there some amazing actors out there. This was brilliant. I can't really explain the way it makes me feel... I just hope that I never have to go through something like this
This movie touched me because of my grandma. She had a brain embolism and I lost her that way, so did my dad. He lost his mother because she couldn't remember who he was at all. I know how Tricia felt because my grandma who was so full of life was gone. She was physically there but her mind, personality, humor, and everything that made her what she was to us disappeared. This is one of the best dramas that David has ever done! I cried and laughed! David is such a brilliant person! Love him!!
Thank you so much for uploading this. It made me cry. This lonely American thanks you from the bottom of her heart. What an amazing movie! And I don't think I could love David Tennant any more than I do now. He is an unbelievable actor!
wow, this is an amazing movie and highly underrated..i can't believe it. such beautiful and brilliant performances! it's amazing and more people should see it. so real and very sincere in its approach to such a strong and difficult topic. BRAVO!!!
wow, this is an amazing movie and highly underrated..i can't believe it. such beautiful and brilliant performances! it's amazing and more people should see it. so real and very sincere in its approach to such a strong and difficult topic. BRAVO!!!
Brilliant doesn't even cover it. Incredibly touching, heart wrenching, but oh so admirable. It won't ever be perfect again, but what really is?!! It's all about making with what we've got, piecing the puzzle together the best way we can and keeping our faith that we will survive amidst it all. David had me bawling, especially at the "orange car" speech. I applaud this insightful production and thank David for bringing us such a moving but most importantly inspiring performance!!
Thank you so much for posting this movie! I'm a Doctor Who nut, who didn't realize it was David Tennant I was drooling over back in the 90's with Takin' Over The Asylum, and I hate the stupid polyjuice keeping his screen time so short in Harry Potter.
Thank you for posting this. That was a superb movie. Amazing acting on both Sarah and David's parts. I cried the whole way through. My hat comes off to both of them.
David is such an amazing actor. Such a serious role, different from everything else I've seen him in, and he still plays it absolutely brilliantly. He never fails to impress me.
havnt cried like that since he regenerated in Doctor Who damn u David u always make me sob!!!! it was great though loved every minute a joy to watch as always.
In my opinion (you may feel differently about it) David Tennant is the greatest actor of all time, he can pull of any character in any script any time and make it a masterpiece. And this is him at his best!
Does anyone else agree that David wasn't able to reach his full potential in acting as much in Doctor Who? I mean, he had magnificent moments, but not as good as this drama (except from The End of Time).
@stonemonkey999 What? Not able to reach his full potential? I completely disagree. I've been rewatching his seasons, and the emotional turmoil that character goes through leaves me breathless - I can't get enough. I would specifically draw your attention to the Family of Blood episodes (first one called Human Nature), as well as any time Rose is mentioned. Doctor Who showcased David Tennant's comedic timing, dramatic angst, and, at the risk of losing credibility, dead sexiness. "Allons-y!"
@anglomediaphile Exactly, it is moments like that that I feel he really is amazing. He is by far my favourite Doctor, people are suddenly saying that Matt Smith is amazing, but if they watched the David Tennant episodes again, they'd realise their mistake. I only cannot stress enough how much I love him. The greatest man to have ever lived. <3
That was fantastic, really made me cry, thanks so much for uploading it all :) Sarah and David are brilliant, I love David to bits, he's so gorgeous :D xxx
*cry* David Tennant...WOW, I love him as the Doctor, and after that, I love him so much moooore! Sarah is a such good actress too, liked her in Blackpool.
I've just finished watching, just brilliant. I can't find the words to explain why, because like the character Alan, something is going wrong in my brain. I just know it was amazing acting, filming. Obviously very well written. Thank you very much for making it available to me.
As a few people have said, thanks again for posting! I'm also in the states and, like jenfnave, would never have been able to see this! Thanks a bunch!
Thank you for uploading this..I love everything that David Tennant does and this was brilliant! He is so diverse in all his roles. Glad to have been able to see this as I live in the States and this would never be released here. Thank you "kisses"!
Thank you (I think)! Finally plucked up the courage to watch this and now in a puddle of hysteical tears! You are a star for posting these. Missed them on tv coz our dvd recorder went mental and deleted everything... Is it available on DVD anywhere in the world?
What an amazing story! David Tennant/Sarah Parish are great in this movie! A far cry from Blackpool and DrWho. Is there nothing David Tennant can not do, he is just amazing!! Love this guy!!
Can't remember the last time a movie has made me cry like that. Amazingly done. Though now I have a horrible emotion headache from bawling like a baby for the past 90 minutes, thanks David. -.-
Anything you upload of David's work, midcirclenine, is greatly appreciated for those stuck across the pond who are unable to see it or anyone who wants some David or both. Thanks again! =D
I was only able to watch snippets and bits of this film because it was just too painful. Perhaps one day I'll make it through the whole thing.
I have to say, though, David and Sarah were both wonderful in everything I saw, especially in the scene when she says she'll take what he's got. It's so beautiful.
I love this film it shows just how good they are at acting out such a real life issue which affects many and every time I watch this I can't help but cry, it is really full of emotion. Brilliant film.
4 years ago my gran had a stroke and she lost everything, memories, her personality and worst of all her sense of reality. It was horrific to watch my mum fight with her (trying to wash her hair, even to get her out of bed) though at the end of the day you just have to get on with it and do your best. No matter how much goes wrong, no matter how bad it gets they are still your family!
Its so hard to watch this, because my gran never actualy got better, not even close.
I hate how people look at David as capable of playing only the manic sort of person he plays in Doctor Who. This sort of role shows they're dead wrong.
no were not all like her :) but its not really her fault we all react different under stress and we never really know how we will react until it happens to us...
Thanks for uploading this great movie. I watch this since I like the actor and has received a petition on publishing this movie in DVD. Like to sign up but really need to watch it before. Glad to have it on youtube.
For those love this movie. Please go and sign up to get it onto DVD again. Just google with keyword: "Get Recovery onto DVD Petition".
Cheer David Tennant and Sarah Parish. Really Brilliant drama.
Thanks for the heads up on the petition. Have signed, and I left a comment with the message that some of the proceeds should go to the Headway foundation. This movie is extremely affecting, and revealing of not just what victims of brain injury go through, but of what their families' and friends' go through as well.
I literally got up on my feet to clap in the credits. That was bloody brilliant! I loved every single moment of it, and it was defintely the BEST 90 minutes I've ever speant sitting on my arse. Bravo David and Sarah! Cheers for uploading!
The bit with him writing the words and him crying...wow, it makes me cry every time.
Thanks so, so much for uploading this. I've been trying to find it everywhere since I've watched it on TV, but couldn't find it. They should make a DVD, they really should...
I missed the original airing in 2007 and was so gutted as i waited for weeks for it. Thought id neveer see it so im bvery very grateful for the upload. Brilliant drama and a superb performance all round
David Tennant and Sarah Parish are absolutely amazing.
well the time with me right now posting this is 5:50 am , ive been up all night watching "Secret Smile" also with David Tennant , and this , this Drama/Film is absolutely magnificent , i thoroughly enjoyed it . come touching/sad parts and frankly some funny parts when he grabs the nurses arse and so on HA ! , but all in all an outstanding performance by David Tennant and Sarah Parish also !!
Thank you SOOO much. Missed this when it was on and as it has never been released on DVD thought I'd never get to see this brilliant brilliant drama. David and Sarah were amazing!!
ohmygod . . . i have to wake up early tomorrow but i stayed up to finish this . . . a beautiful film and i cried at the end. . . and i NEVER cry when i watch films. thank you thank you thank you
Loved "Recovery" & LOVE David Tennant! This was one of his best performances in a long line of great work. He truely is one of the greatest actors of our generation. I will watch him in anything. When I heard he bacame a parton for Headway Essex & autographed cards for donations I knew I had to have one.....ok I got 2. What a great way to give to a worthy organization & have a piece of the man himself.
*sigh* If only more people knew about him here in the US.
I watched the end of this movie several times...it's amazingly sad and happy at the same time. It makes you grateful for every day you've had up until now. At any moment tragedy could strike and change yours or a loved one's life forever...haven't cried this much from a movie in a long time. Also both leading roles were amazing. David Tennant stole my heart though in this one.
THank you so much for posting this. I'm getting ready to defend my PhD in Neuroscience, and this has definitely helped motivate me to press on... even working through the 4th of July weekend.
Such a moving film, I could relate to this drama quite well. I havn't had memory loss, but depression was the worst period of my life. It makes me wonder will I ever be normal again, and when this guy said it I burst into tears, something I don't let myself do often, mainly thats because 17 year old guys don't. Sometimes your head becomes your worst enemy, you think things that make your world seem hell. I loved this drama so much. Thanks a bunch for uploading
There's a movie about a girl dealing with her bro's mental disability that used to be on TV before it was taken off because parents didn't want their kids 'exposed' to it. (Gah.)
Recovery really reminded me of that movie, just in a more adult setting -- but just as heart breaking. The acting was actually so superb I forgot I was watching fiction -- the characters seemed so real. The plot was amazingly realistic too -- it didn't shy away from anything.
Oh man. I'm like crying because of "what if I can't make you happy anymore? what if I can't come back?" and when she says, "I'll take what you've got." Aw.
Thank you very much for uploading this. Great to watch it again...this made me cry so much the first time round ...and now! David's acting in this was superb and it shows he is truly a great actor!
I'm really not the tearing up type, but this last bit of the movie had me glassy eyed. Even though Alan doesn't remember much, he makes such an effort to start all over again. And, he's so sincere, his words so heartfelt. That bit with his son, then promising to relearn the words of their song for his wife...wow!
And the way David Tennant makes those well-written lines come alive is just beautiful to watch.
This is the first proper time I watched it since it was on TV, and it still makes me cry! It was amazing then and is amazing still. They are all brilliant in it and its soo emotional.
I made it through the whole movie without crying one bit...until the very end when Alan cries with Tricia! That was the first time David Tennant has made me cry on anything other than Doctor Who! I'm pleasantly surprised! :D
Thank you for uploading this. I missed it when it was on and have only just watched it for the first time. The acting throughout was absolutely amazing from everyone. It was absolutely heart breaking but I love the ending. David Tennant never fails to have me in tears when he plays sad in anything. Thanks again for uploading!
Absolutely brilliant film... so sad, because it was so brilliantly acted I believed everything. I originally just watched this because I like David, but in a way, I completely forgot that it was him, and just got caught up in it. I absolutely loved this, and I thought the ending was perfect. As happy as it realistically could have been. David and Sarah were excellent together, just like in Blackpool. Absolutely amazingly acted, (Even though I know the actors won't read this) thank you so much.
I can not express what this movie has done to me. i have never cried so much in my life. Thanks for posting such a great movie taht i would have never found.
Thankyou so much for posting this. I missed it first time round. David and Sarah surpassed their role's in Blackpool in this drama. Made me laugh, made me cry ,made me hope. Very realistic adaptation of the consequences how a brain injury can impact "normal everyday life" Whether by trauma or dementia related, the loss of " the person" you once knew is traumatising for all involved. The subtle humour running through this made it seem even more real. Brilliantly acted. Thankyou again xxx
The whole time watching this movie I kept thinking please don't end this badly. The whole thing has been such a downer we could really use a happy ending.
OMG! Possibly one of the best, most saddest movie ever =] there's something about movie's like this that give it more of personal quality, films that don't have major hollywood actors or major hollywood budgeting but they still tell an amazing story. I love it =], loved David in Doctor Who but this certainly gives him alot more depth!
Thank you for posting the movie Love. It was good. Almost got me crying, sadly it didn't. Amazing, amazing acting by all and shows the real side of recovering from any type of brain injury. Again thank you. I may just go onto Amazon and buy the movie.
One of the best films I have seen for a long time. Great acting by everyone. It seemed so real. Even when the older kid & the mum were not being their "best selves" I could feel their pain. They seemed to be trying so hard and everyone has their breaking point.
Thanks again from Canada (where as a lonely Canadian I so feel stuck on the wrong side of the pond... I wish we had more stuff from DT here ... he is such a great actor and can play so many different roles)
wow. i didn't know what to expect coming into this one. i just... it was tragic and beautiful and more than i could've expected. the more of david's work i watch, the more talented he becomes in my eyes. i'm just so baffled.

I was only able to watch snippets and bits of this film because it was just too painful. Perhaps one day I'll make it through the whole thing.
I have to say, though, David and Sarah were both wonderful in everything I saw, especially in the scene when she says she'll take what he's got. It's so beautiful.

4 years ago my gran had a stroke and she lost everything, memories, her personality and worst of all her sense of reality. It was horrific to watch my mum fight with her (trying to wash her hair, even to get her out of bed) though at the end of the day you just have to get on with it and do your best. No matter how much goes wrong, no matter how bad it gets they are still your family!
Its so hard to watch this, because my gran never actualy got better, not even close.

For those love this movie. Please go and sign up to get it onto DVD again. Just google with keyword: "Get Recovery onto DVD Petition".
Cheer David Tennant and Sarah Parish. Really Brilliant drama.
marysoop 2 years ago 5
Thanks for the heads up on the petition. Have signed, and I left a comment with the message that some of the proceeds should go to the Headway foundation. This movie is extremely affecting, and revealing of not just what victims of brain injury go through, but of what their families' and friends' go through as well.

Loved "Recovery" & LOVE David Tennant! This was one of his best performances in a long line of great work. He truely is one of the greatest actors of our generation. I will watch him in anything. When I heard he bacame a parton for Headway Essex & autographed cards for donations I knew I had to have one.....ok I got 2. What a great way to give to a worthy organization & have a piece of the man himself.
*sigh* If only more people knew about him here in the US.

At any moment tragedy could strike and change yours or a loved one's life forever...haven't cried this much from a movie in a long time. Also both leading roles were amazing. David Tennant stole my heart though in this one.

Such a moving film, I could relate to this drama quite well. I havn't had memory loss, but depression was the worst period of my life. It makes me wonder will I ever be normal again, and when this guy said it I burst into tears, something I don't let myself do often, mainly thats because 17 year old guys don't. Sometimes your head becomes your worst enemy, you think things that make your world seem hell. I loved this drama so much. Thanks a bunch for uploading

There's a movie about a girl dealing with her bro's mental disability that used to be on TV before it was taken off because parents didn't want their kids 'exposed' to it. (Gah.)
Recovery really reminded me of that movie, just in a more adult setting -- but just as heart breaking. The acting was actually so superb I forgot I was watching fiction -- the characters seemed so real. The plot was amazingly realistic too -- it didn't shy away from anything.
I truly loved this. Thanks for posting!

I'm really not the tearing up type, but this last bit of the movie had me glassy eyed. Even though Alan doesn't remember much, he makes such an effort to start all over again. And, he's so sincere, his words so heartfelt. That bit with his son, then promising to relearn the words of their song for his wife...wow!
And the way David Tennant makes those well-written lines come alive is just beautiful to watch.
He's definitely my favorite actor from now on!

Absolutely brilliant film... so sad, because it was so brilliantly acted I believed everything. I originally just watched this because I like David, but in a way, I completely forgot that it was him, and just got caught up in it. I absolutely loved this, and I thought the ending was perfect. As happy as it realistically could have been. David and Sarah were excellent together, just like in Blackpool. Absolutely amazingly acted, (Even though I know the actors won't read this) thank you so much.

Thankyou so much for posting this. I missed it first time round. David and Sarah surpassed their role's in Blackpool in this drama. Made me laugh, made me cry ,made me hope. Very realistic adaptation of the consequences how a brain injury can impact "normal everyday life" Whether by trauma or dementia related, the loss of " the person" you once knew is traumatising for all involved. The subtle humour running through this made it seem even more real. Brilliantly acted. Thankyou again xxx
