CODA

A captivating and heart-warming coming of age story, with a perfect, powerful and earnest performance from Emilia Jones. It does a fantastic job of expressing its themes of family and chasing your dreams, whilst balancing it with some hilarious comedic moments. A definitely must see.

Me and my brother grow up in a family with both of my parents deaf, both of us were born not deaf and we had to go through the same thing that the movie captured, people used to laugh at us and our parents and we were young and we couldn't even understand why we were treated differently.

The movie truly is a masterpiece with the acting specially the deaf acting and the way they described how deaf people live their life is very realistic.

CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) The story of Ruby, a child who grow up in a deaf family, they depended on her as she the only one who could speak, and when she found her passion about singing, she has to decide whether she continue helping her family or leave them for college.

It's enjoyable and different I highly recommend this movie.

A hearing girl in a deaf family, restricted by her dynamic, silenced by her surroundings with potential and passion attenuated, battles to be heard, but oh what a song she finally sings - absolutely outstanding, with some of the finest, most sincere and most genuine performances you'll find. Take it to your heart and let it dwell.

There's nothing wrong with making a predictable and formulaic film, as long as you succeed in producing the emotion and reaction out of your audience. You can see where CODA is going, but it's so effective at what it does. There's a few laugh out loud moments (which I didn't expect) and the 3rd act is just as moving as films like Almost Famous and Sing Street, both movies with similar music/dream themes. There's something about those types of stories that appeal to me more than most people.

9.3/10.

Took me a while before viewing this movie as the subject matter seemed a bit on the sombre side.

How wrong I was!

Superfilm: thoughtful, amusing with a brilliant script and direction.

Plus great music which can be heard again on Spotify.

Every single performer gave a 1st class credible performance.

A young woman in a family of deaf people has to choose whether to stay with them or follow her musical dreams.

One devasting moment near the end of the picture where people are at a concert listening to singers when the perspective changes to show how such a concert is heard by the deaf.

Believe it ir not I thought the actor playing the music teacher stole the show!

The movie well deserved the Oscar for best picture that it won:

8/10.
