I agree. LOVE the way it is portrayed in IT. Part 2, coming next year, shows the Losers as adults, so it’ll be interesting how stuttering is portrayed in adult-Bill! This movie, and the King Speech are in my top 3 favorite movies for their representations on stuttering. If you loved the movie, HIGHLY recommend the novel. Yes, it is a whale, but very great read. And Bill’s stutter has a much deeper, symbolic, and relevant meaning than in the movie (they can only fit so much into that time frame)!
