Kirk Jones’ ‘I Swear’ To Hit US Theatres On April 24, 2026 Via Sony Pictures Classics

Sony Pictures Classics has announced that I Swear, written and directed by BAFTA nominee Kirk Jones, will open in theatres across the United States on April 24, 2026.

The film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025, received strong critical acclaim and currently holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It has also delivered a solid run at the UK box office, alongside major awards recognition. Lead actor Robert Aramayo secured the Best Lead Performance honour at the British Independent Film Awards, where the film also won for Best Casting. It has further earned multiple BAFTA nominations, including Outstanding British Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Inspired by the life of Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner John Davidson, the film stars Aramayo alongside a strong supporting cast featuring Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan.

Spanning five decades from the 1980s to present-day Britain, the story traces Davidson’s diagnosis at the age of 15 and follows his journey through adolescence and adulthood, highlighting the challenges of living with a widely misunderstood condition. The film also worked closely with the Tourette’s community, incorporating individuals with lived experience and consulting relevant charities to ensure authenticity.

I Swear is produced by Kirk Jones, Georgia Bayliff and Piers Tempest under One Story High and Tempo Productions, with Cindy Jones and John Davidson serving as executive producers.
