I Swear
SUCH AN AMAZING movie... Based on a true story about a boy who has severe Tourette syndrome. Boy who came from a crappy family in the 80s - family had a tough time dealing with this as it first started. Then teenage years.. being SUPER lonely...

Boy was rescued by a social worker who helps him find his path of being independence while dealing with the police, society and finding a job... all these were great real situations John has to deal with.

You feel for the character, you feel uplifted, you want him to succeed and you want him to fit in and in a two hour movie, things are coming is left right and center. Towards the 1/4 of the movie, it all comes together and your heart is full of warmth.

To preface, the 1st 2 mins of a scenes sets you up for a happy ending so it's good it's not a dark comedy or a tragic story.

Lead, Robert Aramayo, has a strong Scottish accent but if you get thru that, it's realyl really worth the watch.. I never watched his other roles Lord of the rings but man he did a solid in this film. He won British Independent Film Awards beating out a lot of solid actors.
