CODA is a beautiful depiction of life in a deaf family. Aptly named for the acronym meaning Child Of Deaf Adults, but also for the final scene or score in a work of art (song, dance, or text). Ruby is a CODA, and this time in her life just before adulthood, before she leaves home to experience the world, this time is also her CODA.
The most moving scene for me is when Ruby's father asks her to sing for him. In that moment he does more than some hearing parents ever do, he finally "listens" to what she's been telling them all along, and he literally feels her passion for singing. Ruby said, "we roll deep", in reference to her close family... we should all be lucky to love and be so loved.
7/10 - for a brilliant look at a community we rarely see in film.
