I Swear15
At 15, John is diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome in 1980s Britain, a time when few understand the condition. Isolated from his family and peers, he faces misunderstanding and stigma at every turn. Yet, with the help of unexpected allies, John learns to navigate the world on his own terms. Based on a remarkable true story, this uplifting drama celebrates resilience and acceptance, featuring a standout performance from Robert Aramayo (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power).
Reviews
‘Empathetic, funny and myth-busting, it gives you permission to laugh at the situation while feeling only compassion for the man.’
★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
‘Aramayo’s sensitive portrayal of the man and Jones’ unflinching dedication to showing some of Davidson’s most painful moments, the ones that pushed him into action, add up to an insightful biopic that chronicles a very worthy subject.’
★★★★
Kate Erbland, IndieWire

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
