I Swear

"It’s astonishing."

— Kevin Maher, The Times (UK)

"This is an absorbing, compassionate film."

— Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

"I Swear is a biopic that manages at once to be serious-minded and genially larky."

— Jonathan Romney, Financial Times

"It is a drama with three-dimensional people, facing three-dimensional problems and dealing with them... I absolutely loved it."

— Mark Kermode, Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

"Empathetic, funny and myth-busting, it gives you permission to laugh at the situation while feeling only compassion for the man."

— Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

"Davidson’s essential likability shines through, thanks in part to Aramayo’s endearing, guileless performance and in part to writer-director Kirk Jones’ machine-tooled script."

— Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter

"I Swear happily adheres to the British cinematic tradition of small town underdog stories, without ever hijacking and streamlining Davidson’s experiences to maximise its 'feel-good' credentials."

— Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)

"Just lovely. Tourette syndrome has not been afforded its cinematic dues, but what an affable, funny character to explore it with in John Davidson -- and what a performance from Robert Aramayo."

— John Nugent, Empire Magazine

"Aramayo’s sensitive portrayal of the man and Jones’ unflinching dedication to showing some of Davidson’s most painful moments, the ones that pushed him into action, add up to an insightful biopic that chronicles a very worthy subject."

— Kate Erbland, IndieWire

"The film wrestles enthusiastically and mostly successfully with the potential pitfalls of making a funny yet respectful project about a condition that sometimes lends itself to laughter, even as it wreaks havoc with Davidson’s life in serious ways."

— Catherine Bray, Variety
