Just been to see this at our local film theatre.
A really great, poignant, funny film about John Davidson, a man with Tourette’s syndrome who was featured in the documentary “John’s not mad”.
I enjoyed it so much, I was sad that it ended. Highly recommended.
I had a friend who had Tourette’s but not the involuntary swearing, the last I heard he was going to be given botox for his ticks but we lost contact (I used to see him at circuit training) so I don't know if it worked.
I haven't seen the film but my friend (who coincidentally has schizophrenia) has and she really enjoyed it. I did wonder how accurate it depicts Tourette’s because although Beautiful Mind is a fantastic film which I believe is based on a true story it is questionable whether it totally depicts schizophrenia accurately, but apparently I Swear is accurate.
Excellent, saw the trailer which looked fantastic and then completely forgot about it. Need to go see it while it's still on
My pleasure 👍
Agreed - loved it! Brought a little tear to my sad old eye too!
