WOW! This is such a moving film. There is so much to like about this movie. I followed Emilia Jones filmography to this after seeing her excellent work in LOCKE AND KEY and was pleased to see that Academy Award winning actress Marlee Marlin was also attached to this project. This movie is not just about being a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) it is about a family in crisis, coming of age, finding yourself, following a crush but realizing a totally different passion, being unique, and somewhat isolated, in a larger community, struggling for a fair livelihood, making sacrifices and holding a dream. This film won four of the major awards at Sundance plus awards from 8 other media festivals/entities (and now, all three of its Oscar nominations, including BEST PICTURE). I give this film a 10 (excellent) out of 10. [Drama, Music and Romance] and, in case you are curious, as I am, the final sign in the movie is a modified familial sign for I LOVE YOU (ordinarily the first two fingers are not crossed in this sign).
