Based on the true story, I Swear is a moving, uplifting account of the life of John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome campaigner who grew up with the condition in 1980s Scotland, when it was little known and misunderstood. Featuring an outstanding performance from Robert Aramayo, the film is full of intelligence and charm, and it raises relevant questions about the overdiagnosis debate surrounding conditions such as ADHD and autism, as well as the larger tonal point of view about how, when and whether to laugh at John or with him. I Swear is a frank, funny and touching story about the transformative power of friendship and community.
