AroView: A smart crowd-pleaser and rare biopic truly worthy of its subject. It’s the tragi-comic story of John Davidson, a man growing up in Scotland in the 1980s who becomes afflicted with Tourette syndrome, a then little-known neurological condition with devastating social consequences.

Acted with total conviction by the child and adult actors who play Davidson, the drama gets the balance right across the emotional spectrum from hilarious to humiliating, heartbreaking and, finally, hopeful. It’s a unique combo that appeals to both the compassionate and uncharitable sides of the human personality. ★★★★★

“It will make you cry, it will make you uncomfortable, but at the end of the film’s runtime, it will leave you with a feeling of profound satisfaction that even the most heartfelt movies struggle to replicate.” ~Aidan Kelley, Collider

“I Swear is a crowdpleaser that doesn’t make a spectacle out of its subject, nor mines the darker chapters of their life for tearjerking sentimentality.” ~Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent

“This is an absorbing, compassionate film.” ~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
