"Stutterer" is a 13-minute live action short film from last year that won writer and director Benjamin Cleary an Academy Award earlier this year, certainly a great achievement with him being fairly new in the business of filmmaking. He comes from the UK, just like his lead actor Matthew Needham and he is also a major reason why this film got so successful. Very likable presence and you feel with the character. The ending is somewhat predictable, but not entirely. I personally expected her to be a stutterer too or him being able like a miracle to suddenly speak normal when talking to her because it comes so easy. But my interpretation of the ending was a different one. It wasn't 100% obvious as we did not see them talk right next to each other yet, but I think she (MAJOR SPOILER) may be unable to speak because of a disability. All in all, I enjoyed watching this little movie, especially the online chat parts were kinda cute. Go see it if you get the chance. Far worse films have won Oscars.
