Description: A shimmering lake reflecting a fractured psyche: that's the haunting visual metaphor at the heart of Anna Baumgarten's 'Disfluency'. Molly Hagan and the compelling Barer sisters, Libe and Ariela, deliver nuanced performances in this poignant exploration of unspoken trauma and the arduous journey back to self. Jane's academic failure isn't the film's focus; it's the catalyst, forcing a confrontation with a past shrouded in ambiguity. Baumgarten masterfully avoids melodrama, instead opting for quiet moments of devastating emotional resonance, leaving the audience to piece together the fragments of Jane's shattered narrative. 'Disfluency' isn't just a film; it's an invitation to confront our own silences and the lingering echoes of unresolved pain. It’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates character-driven storytelling steeped in atmospheric beauty and raw emotional honesty.
