I Swear
8.2

Overview

At fifteen, John Davidson receives a diagnosis that reframes everything he thought he knew about himself. Living with Tourette Syndrome through adolescence is hard enough, but John's story refuses to stop there. Set against the texture of recent history, the film traces his slow, uneven path toward adulthood, shaped by unexpected kindness from people who see past the tics to the person underneath. It is ultimately a portrait of someone learning, against considerable resistance, what he is actually for.
