The true life story of John Davidson.

Diagnosed with Tourette’s at 15, targeted as insane by his peers, he struggled with a condition few had witnessed. Campaigning for Tourette’s as an adult, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen in 2019.
 

“A terrifically warm, generous film.” The Guardian

“It is a drama with three-dimensional people, facing three-dimensional problems
and dealing with them... I absolutely loved it.” Mark Kermode

“There’s a hint of repetition in the mid-section and a schmaltzy third act
courtroom scene. But all flaws are overcome by Aramayo’s technically precise
and heart-rending turn. It’s astonishing.” The Times

“Just lovely. Tourette syndrome has not been afforded its cinematic dues, but
what an affable, funny character to explore it with in John Davidson -- and what
a performance from Robert Aramayo.” Empire

Tickets on the door @ £5

We are not selling tickets online for this event due to a significant increase in the fees levied by the providers and while film nights at The Hilt are supported by low numbers we are trying to minimise our losses.

Bring your own refreshments, Ices on sale in the short interval.

Movies @ The Hilt is a relaxed comunity cinema where we show a recent movie and we try to give the audience the chance to select the upcoming titles. We don't operate a bar, but feel free to bring your own refreshments. We stop the film at some point for a short interval to give people the chance to have a few minutes natter and stretch their legs. We usually have ice creams on sale in the interval.
