“★★★★ The film feels like a therapeutic tool… I Swear, despite that on-the-nose title, will win friends wherever it goes.” - Donald Clarke, The Irish Times

“★★★★ Aramayo… puts in an extraordinary performance, achieving not just the technical feat of playing someone with such a specific physical and vocal condition, but also nailing the emotional pathos, the likeable everyman, the sly humour.” - John Nugent, Empire

“Aramayo’s sensitive portrayal of the man and Jones’ unflinching dedication to showing some of Davidson’s most painful moments… add up to an insightful biopic that chronicles a very worthy subject.” - Kate Erbland, Indiewire
