I Swear

I Swear | 2025 | 15 | Dir. Kirk Jones | UK | IMDb 8.4 | English | 120 mins

An emotional rollercoaster of a film detailing the true story of John Davidson , a young man growing up in the 1980s with Tourette’s Syndrome. This was a very much misunderstood condition at the time, and John was harshly treated by members of his own family and people in his neighbourhood. School life was tough for him too. . Brilliantly played by BAFTA-winning actor Robert Aramayo, the film mirrors the highs and lows, the laughter and the tears of a young man who cannot control his tics and outbursts of bad language. His life is difficult until he meets Dottie , played by Maxine Peake, who encourages him to be more comfortable with himself and helps him to get a job, and to mentor other young people with Tourette’s. An uplifting film.
