I SWEAR (cert 15)
7:00pm Saturday April 25th
Hinderwell Hub, High Street, Hinderwell
'Funny, fierce and full of heart' **** Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
'An astonishing feelgood film about life with Tourette’s' The Times
'Hilarious and heart-warming film' **** Tim Robey, The Telegraph
'Robert Aramayo is exceptional ' Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily
We're on the road in April, bringing the very well reviewed 'I Swear' to Hinderwell Hub. Robert Aaramyo stars, beating Timothée Chalamet and Leo Dicaprio to the BAFTA best actor award. But there are plenty of other great performances. Scott Ellis Watson plays the young John at school, Shirley Henderson is brilliant as his mum Heather, Maxine Peake is the mental health nurse who takes him in, and Peter Mullan the community centre worker Tommy, who gives John a chance.
The film is about real-life activist John Davidson, who is from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders and has Tourette syndrome, with its tics, compulsive behaviour patterns and random obscene shouts. He was awarded an MBE in 2019 for his work educating the nation about the condition since he first exhibited its symptoms as a teenager in 1989, as captured in the BBC’s sensational documentary John’s Not Mad. I Swear contains a great performance from Robert Aramayo, 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 how, when and whether to laugh at John or with him.
Official trailer here. Peter Bradshaw's full review here
This film is classified 15 by the BBFC for 'very strong language, brief violence, sex references'
