The trailer for Disfluency has arrived, the new coming of age drama Ariela Barer. The movie is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on January 10, 2025.
“To everyone’s surprise, ‘Jane the Brain,’ flunks her final college class and retreats to her Michigan hometown by the lake. Her parents, sassy older sister, townie friends, and an old high school crush soften the burden of failure as she tries to sort out what to do next,” reads the official synopsis. “It’s not long before this misstep feels more like an opportunity at one last care-free summer vacation. She rekindles an old friendship with her neighbor Amber, a single mother with a difficult toddler, and utilizes her skills as a linguistics student–including teaching her American Sign Language–to help Amber connect with her son. Despite her best efforts, however, Jane can’t keep the real reason that caused her academic disruption bottled up. She struggles with imposter syndrome, and her PTSD boils over. With the support of those around her, Jane unravels herself and starts the never-ending healing process of life after sexual assault.”
