"CODA" is a Drama movie in which we watch a young woman living and helping her deaf family. She wants to study music in the university but she also wants to continue helping their family's fishing business. She is between these two ways and she has only one choice to make.

Many people compare this movie with "La famille Bélier" of 2014 but there are some difference between them and they are not the same. I found "CODA" (CODA means Child Of Deaf Adults) beautiful and I enjoyed it very much because it had a nice, interesting plot addressing many important and unsolved subjects that society has to deal with as soon as possible. The direction which was made by Sian Heder presented very well these subjects in a very clever way combinig comedy with drama, and also made them understood very clear from the audience. The interpretation of Emilia Jones who played as Ruby Rossi was simply outstanding. Other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Troy Kotsur's who played as Frank Rossi, Daniel Durant's who played as Leo Rossi and Amy Forsyth's who played as Gertie. Finally, I have to say that "CODA" is an amazing movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it because you will enjoy it but you will learn something from it, too.

Oh yeah being deaf doesn't mean that you can't be horny.

An Apple+ Original about a high school student who was the only hearing person in her family.

I already love the movie when it started out. There were many funny and clever jokes mostly from the main character's deaf parents that showed the tight relationship in the family. I was consistently entertained with what our main character had to go through because she was the only hearing person in her family.

This led to the main conflict for our main character. The struggle between family responsibilities and one's hope and dream was a familiar theme that is explored many times before. However, the story created a new and unique situation that had me sympathized with not our main character, but also her family members. The family dynamics worked so well that the situation even more conflicting.

Still, the movie had many sweet moments. The audition scene near the end was beautiful and got me emotional there. Also, Emilia Jones, who played the main girl Ruby, had a beautiful voice, and I loved every scene where she sang.

As for problems, the progression was definitely a bit formulaic, but it didn't bother me much at all.

Overall, a sweet, beautiful, and unique slice of life/coming of age story. 9/10.

The story of Coda is a bit cliché. Just by reading the ingredients you can already see where this movie is going. So no real surprises in Coda, you will exactly know the outcome way long before the ending. That said it's still an enjoyable movie to watch. A little bit emotional sometimes, which is almost normal as you feel compassion for the deaf people and certainly for the daughter that has a lot on her plate. Maybe a bit too much singing in my opinion but that's just because I'm not a big fan of singing in movies unless it's the music that I like but that's not likely to happen given my taste of music. Coda is predictable but it doesn't really matter as the acting is really good and that from the whole cast. Certainly worth a watch.
