This film has left many people feeling emotional because it is based on an inspirational true story – and the British movie has an 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Cinema enthusiasts are going wild for a biographical drama that’s achieved a flawless 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Scottish-set picture chronicles the real-life journey of John Davidson and his experiences living with Tourette’s syndrome. Featuring Robert Aramayo in the lead role, the film has moved both professional critics and audiences to tears.
Luke Eccleston, a cinema critic from Wigan who has reviewed over 400 films in 2025, considers this particular work exceptional.
Discussing the movie on TikTok, Luke declared: “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: “The film I’m talking about is called I Swear. This follows John Davidson, a man who has Tourette’s. It follows him from the young age of 14 when he is diagnosed with Tourette’s all the way to the modern day.
“Everything he has done with his life shows the impact of friends and family, plus people finding out what Tourette’s actually is and it’s the most I have cried at a film all year.”
Despite Luke having previously viewed a documentary about John Davidson’s experiences and being familiar with his journey, he described the film as “something else”.
The 1989 BBC documentary “John’s Not Mad” followed John as a teenager living with Tourette’s Syndrome. It was groundbreaking in its honest and sensitive portrayal of the challenges faced by those with Tourette’s.
However, the new movie is a totally different experience. Luke says the film is “told in such a heartfelt way” and illuminates a condition that remains widely misunderstood to this very day.
The film critic’s video has racked up more than 600 likes and attracted a flood of glowing responses since being uploaded.
One viewer gushed: “What an emotional ride – fantastic film, so well acted.” Another declared: “Brilliant film, best I’ve seen this year.” And a third enthusiast added: “Deserves an Oscar. One of the best films I’ve seen in the last 10 years.”
