Cinema

I Swear is a frank, funny and powerful new film inspired by the life and experiences of John Davidson, MBE, charting his journey from a misunderstood teenager in 1980’s Britain to present day advocate for the understanding and acceptance of Tourette Syndrome.

Diagnosed aged 15, John navigates his way against the odds through troubled teenage years and into adulthood, finding inspiration in the kindness of others to discover his true purpose in life.

I Swear is written and directed by Kirk Jones and stars Robert Aramayo, Maxine Peake, Shirely Henderson and Peter Mullan.

The film is produced Piers Tempest and Georgia Bayliff for Tempo Productions, and by Kirk Jones for One Story High. Executive Producers are Cindy Jones and John Davidson.

 

‘That is another of the film’s strengths: it is very, very funny. Without ever punching down, it recognises the inherent absurdity of John’s sweariest tics — given extra oomph in a Scottish accent.’ – Empire ★★★★☆
