A funny, eye-opening insight of the life of a legend

It can't be understated that what John Davidson has done for the lives of people with Tourette's. His life was upended by his condition at an early age and he, like some others of that era, had to suffer the indignity, the torture if you will, offered a world that didn't understand.This movie showcases just that.I won't go into too much detail because I do not want to lessen the experience that this movie, about John, shares with its audience. The moments of sorrow, joy, sheer laughter, and togetherness this movie brings is a wonder to behold. The acting is absolutely brilliant, and the filming is first class.This film should get multiple awards for what has been produced here. It is a wonderful movie which tickles the emotions, and it is my sincere hope that it highlights the need of understanding and education of Tourette Syndrome to us all.

Go and see it

I have just watched this at a secret screening.Having seen the trailer a few weeks ago I did not plan on watching it given the subject matter.If I had followed my inital thoughts I would have missed the best film I have seen this year. It is funny, honest and informing well worth the price of a ticket.

I saw it at the world premiere today in Toronto. It has the kind of purposeful passion that the main character's mentor tells him he needs to find - namely, to help the world understand what it means to be neurodiverse with something like Tourette's.Amazing performances from the entire cast, including the two actors playing the child & adult version of the main character. They truly humanize the challenges he has faced from the time he started experiencing tics as a teenager. The performances are so natural that you often forget you are watching a dramatic depiction. Tells the story with a minimum of gloss.We need more movies like this to be created, and the world needs to see more of them. It probably won't attract much notice owing to the subject matter. But it certainly deserves to be considered for awards based on its merits.It had a good chunk of the audience in tears at various points, both for the painful and joyful moments. Even if it doesn't hit you quite that hard, I can't see anyone giving it less than a 7, unless you are bothered by the swearing (which is entirely necessary to maintain authenticity of what such a person's existence is like).
