I blink. I twitch. I Jump. I click. I whistle. I shout. I swear.
The young John Davidson was diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome at 15 years old in 1980s Britain – a time when the condition was little known and entirely misunderstood. Initially alienated from his peers and his family, Davidson perseveres in his attempt to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds, finding some unlikely champions along the way.
A crowd-pleasing overcoming-of-odds tale, sensitively and humourously brought to life by director Kirk Jones, this illuminating character portrait is as inspiring as the man it commemorates, rounded off by a brilliant supporting cast which includes Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan.
