I SWEAR is based on the true story of Scottish activist John Davidson. Teenage John seemed destined to become a professional footballer, until he started developing the symptoms of Tourette’s Syndrome. Years later, a now adult John (played here by Robert Aramayo) is still living with his mother, who is often embarrassed by her son’s tics and involuntary outbursts. However, a chance encounter with an old friend sets John’s life on an exciting new path.

This lively, warm-hearted film is a fascinating portrayal of life with Tourette’s. While the film captures the more challenging sides of John’s experiences, it is ultimately a life-affirming story full of humour and warmth. Rarely has copious swearing been so sweet.

★★★★ “The film feels like a therapeutic tool… I Swear, despite that on-the-nose title, will win friends wherever it goes.” – Donald Clarke, The Irish Times
