I swear (Kirk Jones, 2025), Netflix

The only thing that got lost in the hype surrounding John Davidson’s outbursts at the BAFTAs was the film itself. As a plea for tolerance and understanding, Kirk Jones’ award-winning biography of Davidson – who has Tourette’s Syndrome – is poignant and compelling. And in Robert Aramayo, there is a hero who throws himself wholeheartedly into a life that oscillates between despair and hope, tragedy and comedy. Scott Ellis Watson himself plays young John, who begins developing tics as a teenager and finds his life falling apart. Maxine Peake and Peter Mullan, as the mentors who help him see his potential, add sparkle to the lively and essential watch. Simon Wardle
