Summary

Kirk Jones’s biographical drama based on the true life story of John Davidson, the man who taught Britain about Tourette Syndrome, is currently no 1 in the Netflix UK charts. It bagged lead actor Robert Aramayo the best actor gong at the recent Baftas, an awards ceremony that led to the film having a fourth act no one was expecting. Hannah picked it as her next Flicking choice waaaay before any of that occurred. She, Yosra and Mick chat about this frank, powerful, gut-wrenching and funny account of a man still bringing much-needed awareness to a still misunderstood condition.
