Watchlist:
Hal is a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route – he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem.
Why you might like this:
Rocket Science (2007), directed by Jeffrey Blitz, offers a delightfully offbeat coming-of-age story anchored by standout performances, particularly from Nicholas D'Agosto and Anna Kendrick. With its quirky, character-driven blend of comedy and drama, this film provides a unique and deeply empathetic exploration of the challenges of adolescence and the power of finding one's voice.
