A powerful British film has achieved a rare and perfect critical score, moving audiences to tears with its heartfelt portrayal of a true-life story. The movie, titled I Swear, has secured a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is now available for streaming.
A Journey of Resilience and Understanding
The film chronicles the real-life journey of John Davidson, a man living with Tourette's syndrome. It follows his story from the age of 14, when he was first diagnosed, right through to the present day. Featuring Robert Aramayo in the lead role, the Scottish-set drama highlights the profound impact of friends and family, while educating viewers about the realities of a widely misunderstood condition.
Professional critic Luke Eccleston from Wigan, who has reviewed over 400 films in 2025, has hailed it as an exceptional piece of cinema. On TikTok, he urged his followers: "This is one of the most outstanding and most remarkable films I have seen all year and you need to watch it immediately." He added that it was "the most I have cried at a film all year."
Building on a Groundbreaking Documentary
John Davidson's story was first brought to public attention in the groundbreaking 1989 BBC documentary "John's Not Mad." That film offered an honest and sensitive look at his teenage years grappling with Tourette's. However, Luke Eccleston, who was familiar with the documentary, insists the new feature film is "something else," praising it for being "told in such a heartfelt way."
The critic's video review has garnered significant attention online, amassing more than 600 likes and a flood of emotional responses from viewers who have seen the film. One commenter described it as "an emotional ride - fantastic film, so well acted," while another called it the "best I've seen this year." A third went even further, stating it "deserves an Oscar" and is "one of the best films I've seen in the last 10 years."
