Film Review – I Swear

John Davidson is a Scottish man who’s been the focus of several documentaries and news reports throughout his life. He lives with Tourette syndrome, and he’s used his days to help educate others on the motor disorder, trying to spread the word about its symptoms, which brought him great trouble during his formative years, surrounded by a world that didn’t understand his situation. Writer/director Kirk Jones (“Waking Ned Devine,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”) elects to dramatize such a life experience in “I Swear,” exploring the woes and sense of self-discovery as John learned more about Tourettes, trying to balance physical issues with emotional needs. “I Swear” is pretty standard as bio-pics go, but the lead performance by Robert Aramayo is sensational, delivering full-body work that captures the turmoil within John as he endures a lot of pain before finally finding his way to a level of peace.
