It's March 13. Here's what's happening in Entertainment. The new film I swear has earned a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Kurt Jones, it tells the true story of a young man named Davidson who developed tics from Tourette Syndrome during his school years in, 1980's Britain. Back then, few people understood the condition, but Davidson got key help from a mental health nurse played by Maxine Peake and a community center. Caretaker brought to life by Peter Mullin, the lead role went to Robert Aramayo, who captured the challenges with real depth. Critics love how the movie keeps things balanced and real, sticking to everyday small town vibes without forcing happy endings. They also highlight the spot on casting in direction that feels honest and unflashy. At the 2026 Baptist, Aramayo took home best leading actor and the film snagged five nominations plus best casting. This buzz has spotlighted Davidson himself.

The activist honored with an MBE in 2019. Meanwhile, during the Baptist ceremony, Davidson had an unintentional tick that drew attention while stars were on stage. The movie hit UK theaters in October 2025 and keeps gaining fans. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. Please, piece, I put my head in it. S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com
