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.

So far the best movie I've watched from the Academy award nominees. Won't be surprised if it gets one! (And.... it did win)

CODA means Child Of Deaf Adults. Imagine being a CODA and a singer.

Imagine not being able to feel the one thing your child is good at, what a weird feeling it can be. The concert scene from the parents' pov had me all teared up.

The movie has right amounts of all the things - laughter, romance, tension in family(you'll relate to this more if you're Asian) and is well directed in so that you never feel disconnected/ disinterested because of a basic story.

CODA is somewhat a similar coming of age story to Little Miss Sunshine and makes you value and support your family more!

Watch this with your close ones and you'll feel the emotions manifold :) P. S. I'm still laughing thinking about the small dog, medium dog, big dog scene!!!

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.

I enjoyed this movie. I loved her family . Her voice is beautiful. I love how she loves them back and understood her moves. Awareness in such a delight waym.

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.

This is a beautiful and heart warming film about a teenage girl in a marginalised family. I am very happy that someone made a film about the challenges of a marginalised and forgotten group.

As the opening for Sundance, CODA gave us a delightful story of a hearing child in a deaf family. She finds herself torn between pursuing her love of music and her family's reliance on her to be their connection to the outside world. I would like to say how much of a crowd pleaser this is. All of the reviews have come back positive saying this is the best opener since Whiplash. The performances are good all around. What got to me most is the family dynamic. It's something really heart-warming to watch that put a smile on my face the whole time. The comedy landed well throughout. The same goes for the drama. Sian Heder is a good director and we see the heart put into the movie. The story is where some of my issues came from. It follows a typical storyline that we've seen before in movies geared toward teens. It became predictable along the way and some of the scenes felt too good to be true. But I understand this isn't meant to be something to breakdown and analyze. All in all, this is meant to make us feel good and that's exactly what it did. I look forward to rewatching this again in the future.

Having grown up in a multicultural setting and having been the "interpreter" for my family my entire life, this movie resonated with me more than words can describe. I laughed and cried and everything in between for two hours straight. This movie does a phenomenal job at capturing the essence of what it feels like when you're perceived different.

CODA is essentially a story about the only hearing person of a deaf family who is at crossroads whether to stay help her family or to choose her own path forward. She was born to be part of both worlds yet doesn't take full ownership of either. Emilia Jones (as Ruby Rossi) does a fantastic job in her role navigating through family responsibility, pressure, expectations, belonging, identity and finding her own voice, literally. The entire cast is just pure joy to watch - with Troy Kotsur absolutely killing it. This guy makes sign language feel like the strongest, most intuitive and most swag way of expressing human emotion.

If you're hesitating whether to watch this movie - don't. CODA is genuinely special. It's beautiful, different, poignant, hilariously funny at times and excruciatingly painful at others. I loved every single minute of it and rooted for every single character so badly I wanted to befriend them immediately. This film fully deserves its Best Motion Picture Oscar and yes. It is VERY worthwhile your attention.

I was very impressed by this film. Gives a great insight into the joys and struggles faced from both sides, that of the young girl and of her deaf family, and the predicament they face about their future's. There's some great humour in the film and also some touching, emotional scenes. It's a beautiful film. I would recommend to all, young and old.

CODA is a really heart touching movie. All the characters did their best work and salute to the writer - director because it's not easy to make a very simple movie. Making a film with gimmicks is very easy but making a simple movie needs a special talent.

Must watch.

Had me in tears watching this at work.

Wasn't expecting so many feels lol.

I would recommend that everyone watch this movie. It is well worth the time.

It was captivating, and heart warming. Great movie to give you perspective on what it's like having a deaf family member. Seeing live through the eyes of a hearing person and the difficulties that they face every day with their family members was a great way to gain some perspective on the subject matter.

There's even a scene in the movie where you experience life through the perspective of a deaf person. Blew me away. I couldn't imagine life that way.

Thank you to the people that made this movie. I loved it.

I could complain about how they felt the need to adapt a French movie from years ago... but I am just happy that this story gets to be shared with more people. Lovely story, coming off age, family relations. The resulting movie is a great feat, showing people a world they are not familiar with.

I learned, I laughed, I cried, I was inspired, and it made me think. One of the few movies I've watched that that checked all my boxes. Would watch again.

So far it's been rare to see deaf characters portrayed onscreen, let alone played by deaf actors. That makes Sian Heder's Academy Award-nominated "CODA" all the more important. Showing the challenges that a hearing daughter in a deaf family faces, it hits all the right notes (pun not intended).

Another good movie about the daughter of deaf parents is the German movie "Beyond Silence".

Emilia Jones plays Ruby, a CODA (Child of a deaf Adult) who longs to go to college to study music. Her teacher realises her great singing gift and supports her, but she cannot abandon her totally deaf family for whom she acts as full time translator, particular as their fishing business appears to be going under.

One of those truly charming, beautifully acted films that leaves you wanting more. It's largely free of sentimentality, produces some great laughs and is gloriously acted by Jones, her family, all played by deaf actors and Eugenio Derbez as her grumpy heart of gold teacher. It offers great insights into the problems of being deaf in a modern world and the impossible position Ruby is in in having to chose between 2 great loves. The music here is lovely - Jones can really sing - apart from it all seemingly being tied up rather too neatly at the end, it is one of the funnest, most moving films of the year that could easily have been spoiled with too much treacle.

It's not bad, Emilia is loveable, very nice voice.

This remake version basically skipped all the best parts from the French version, just tried too hard to avoid copying, and I was not touched at all.

If you find this movie good enough to earn 8 stars, then get tissue papaer ready and try the original version, you will give that a 12 stars(guarantee) .

Saw this movie at SUNDANCE 2021. Features great performances all around, but Emilia Jones is going to be a star. Would be awesome to see Troy Katsur get some recognition come awards season as well. The movie is full of heart, made me laugh and made me cry. There were some really beautiful scenes in here and some surprisingly funny ones. The only thing that holds it back is the predictability that comes with abiding by coming of age genre conventions. The pacing also drags a little bit in the middle of the movie. However, the family dynamic here just completely elevates it above normal coming of age fare.

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.

The best movie of the year? CODA is in my opinion a solid movie, rather formulaic and slightly sleep inducing. Not the acting nor the story, really nothing makes CODA in my opinion special - don't get me wrong, CODA is no bad movie, a solid one, yes, but special? No. CODA is one of those coming of age feelgood movies you expect to watch on TV. The French-Belgian movie La Famille Bélier is not a masterpiece but the in my opinion the stronger one - so the best movie (according to the Academy) of 2022 is a remake produced for a streaming service. Nothing more to say.
