I liked her in My Girl but Anna Chlumsky's bad acting made this show unwatchable. Not to mention, the real Anna was paid handsomely for this.. let's just say she's out of debt, in addition to her court fees. When she gets out of prison she'll still have over $20,000 when she's released.
I loved it! Marlee Matlin is queen and I love how she almost pulled out of the film unless production hired deaf actors to play the remaining (deaf) cast. CODA is an acronym for 'Child of Deaf Adult(s)' but it also has another meaning -- Coda is also a concluding musical section that is different from the rest of the music and I just think it's the perfect name for this film.
You MUST watch this:
1) IF you love Bo Burnham 2) Before you Turn 30 3) At any age 4) If you suffer mental health 5) If you're lonely 6) If you survived 2020, and it's fresh in your mind - like it was yesterday 7) If you're feeling down 8) If his comedy routine isn't really your bag and you're not really into his music, but you keep watching because you kinda wanna see where it goes...
Well, I can honestly tell you that throughout all the 'funny business', watching it to the end will be highly rewarding..
The songs are mediocre at best, and mediocre at worst. I both enjoyed and disliked every one of his songs.. lol.
However, watching Bo dedicate himself and showing himself in his most vulnerable state - what crippling anxiety looks like behind closed doors.
It's awkward, uncomfortable and raw - all during the backdrop of Covid/Gov. Shut downs.
Battling his own anxiety, he brings this up occasionally.. It's a "One-Man Show", but this is a very special film.
There's something very 'human' about this performance. The 'mediocre' music ends up being right on key, it's hilarious and even though I wasn't sure about the movie during it's entire performance - I laughed like crazy to the lyrics and certain scene set-ups, but the whole time, I just kept wondering, "What am I watching?" "Am I even going to like this?"
It actually took me the last 2-3 minutes to know my true thoughts on the film. Not only is his final song his best, but after his song, in the last few minutes of the film, he explains why he did this..
The answer he gives is very rewarding, inspiring, and that dialogue in the last few minutes is what made this an excellent film..
It seems ridiculous, but because of 2020, this performance just work, on so many levels.
