Anna Baumgarten’s DISFLUENCY has more to say than just the words that come out — Austin Film Festival review

In the film festival program blurb, one of the film’s topics is described as β€œthe never-ending process of healing.” That’s true of trauma, addiction, what-have-you…but it’s a phrase that can also apply to life. We can – and must – always heal, always figure out what ails us and rebound better. Even the most educated of intellectuals sometimes utter a disfluency, as even the best of us encounter their metaphorical equivalent in life.
