positive · AI labelView post →Delighted to see I Swear winning awards at the Baftas - it's a brilliant and important film with great performances and I hope this encourages even more people to see it.
positive · AI labelView post →“I Swear” is a beautiful film anchored by an extraordinary lead performance from Robert Aramayo. He disappears into the role completely. Heartfelt, moving and also very funny - I hope it wins lots of awards.
positive · AI labelView post →At least two so far. I watched 'I Swear' the movie based on his life. Was honestly a great film and made me understand a bit better what folks with tourettes have to go through.
positive · AI labelView post →The film “I Swear” is one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last several years. Funny, but above all, *extremely* moving. The world would be a better place if more people saw it. (And Robert Aramayo deserves an Oscar.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeWq...
positive · AI labelView post →It was done as a strategic promotional moment to make ppl go see, 'I Swear.' That's the only explanation. They did it on purpose as a marketing ploy to associate the 'I Swear' movie to 'Sinners.' They knew exactly what they were doing.

positive · AI labelView post →Robert Aramayo is brilliant in I Swear, & I’m starting to think any film with Maxine Peake is destined for greatness. It’s moving, entertaining and a real eye-opener — if you can see through the tears. #Swear #Cinema SWEAR - Official youtu.be/oeWqQN3snCU?... via @YouTube

The scenes at the school reminded me of my childhood where I tried to be sociable and interactive, only to be bullied and pushed away by everyone.

The same, of course, can be said for people, and that’s especially true when it comes to individuals with the rare and unusual condition known as Tourette Syndrome. And that’s precisely the point driven home by this excellent new fact-based comedy-drama from writer-director Kirk Jones. For those unfamiliar with Tourette, it’s a condition in which those affected exhibit potentially offensive…
