Stutterer is officially rated NR. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

This Oscar-winning short film explores themes of social anxiety, communication, and disability through the eyes of Greenwood, a man with a severe stutter.

None. Romance is a central theme, but it is expressed through online messaging and emotional connection, with no sexual content or innuendo.

Violence is very brief and its effects are shown rather than the act itself. After the main character intervenes in an off-screen assault, he is later seen with a small bandage over his nose. This is the only violent content in the film.

Language is the key content concern. The protagonist's inner monologue, which comprises much of the dialogue, contains at least one use of the 'f-word' out of frustration. Other profanity is minimal or absent.

None. No characters are shown drinking, smoking, or using drugs.

Stutterer runs 13 minutes, directed by Benjamin Cleary, released in 2015.
