An outstanding film. Acting was superb and the story line upsetting and yet uplifting.

One of the best I have seen. Should be compulsory viewing for everyone.

Great movie, I laughed and I cried! 

Much better than I expected in that it was very empathetic to all concerned and I had expected it to be more of an emotional roller coaster. I’m glad it wasn’t. It was very thoughtful and considered rather than sensational.

Made me laugh out loud and cry. Incredible acting, very realistic.

Sensitive, respectful, excellent performance. 

Absolutely superb film. So enlightening, warm, funny and engaging and brilliantly acted.

Brilliant choice, fantastic actors and the main character should get a Bafta for his performance! The swearing became secondary as the storytelling was engrossing and an eye opener in to what Tourette Syndrome is, especially for those that suffer with it and the larger community that don't understand it. One of the best films this season!

Very convincing.  Reinforced the need for us all to be patient and kind to each other.

Very moving. An example of a general release film which a lot of members may not have seen but should be made available during the season.

Beautifully acted by everyone and what a heartwarming story. My favourite so far this year.

An absolute masterpiece of a story so heartbreaking, funny & uplifting.

I was expecting another tough film, but I Swear was a super compassionate film - a joy to watch.

Best film of the season!!

Great film. It was funny, poignant, well acted and well paced.

Compelling viewing. Fantastic soundtrack too. Best film for many seasons!

My favourite film of the season. Amazing acting and so good humoured. The film gave me a better understanding of the life of someone with Tourette’s in the unforgiving eighties. It just took a couple of people with a different perspective to change his life. 

Mixed Feelings?

At times hard to watch, but important to understand especially the challenges to people growing up and living with this.  It would have helped if a clearer explanation of the causes was given, especially in the light of what seemed a sudden change from living a more normal adolescence, and also some clarification of the way the Nottingham research worked, and apparently could benefit some people.  

Very well-judged analysis of the life of a Tourette's syndrome sufferer, with superb performances from the 2 lead actors. The film managed to achieve a fine balance between the use of humour and empathy without falling into insensitivity or sentimentality. Just slightly too long.
