You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll swear.
In this comedy-drama based on the true story of John Davidson, I Swear follows Davidson (Robert Aramayo), a man from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders living with Tourette syndrome as he fights to be seen beyond the assumptions, ridicule, and ignorance that constantly surround him. On paper, it's a familiar crowd-pleasing biopic, but the final product hits much harder than that.
Robert Aramayo is phenomenal in a role that demands absolutely everything from him. It's a deep, memorable, and emotionally exposed performance that instantly calls to mind the full-blown commitment of Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot. His BAFTA win earlier this year for Leading Actor validated what's obvious on screen: this is a career-defining performance.
