It's a favorite movie of mine. His subtlety, but also his cadence in pauses, helps him. Then his breakdown, and making fun of himself, which I have done plenty of times....

I love this portrayal of one as well because it’s so subtle and I’ve only seen people with stutters able to identify his slight stutter. Also it suggests that even someone with a stutter can succeed ...

I couldn't finish it, but I really did feel like I was him struggling to speak, so I love that authenticity also. I just wasn't in a headspace to separate myself from the character Colin Firth was po...

I just recently watched Cut Bank. Really good movie with a major character that stutters. It'd be a spoiler to say if he's good or bad, but either way, I didn't find it offensive....

Loki Season 2 has a stuttering character, who isn't evil or good. Unfortunately the actor is not a good man, it turns out. Kdrama Hell Is Other People (2019) has two, and both are shady, but everyone...
