    • Trivia
      Emilia Jones spent nine months learning American Sign Language, having singing lessons, and learning how to operate a fishing trawler.
    • Goofs
      The majority of the movie takes place in Massachusetts in autumn, yet the leaves on the trees are green. By October, all of the leaves would have changed colors or dropped entirely. The summer-appropriate costumes and the late evening light also reveal that the movie wasn't filmed in fall.
    • Quotes

      Ruby Rossi: [signing] Did you ever wish I was deaf?

      Jackie Rossi: [signing] When you were born, at the hospital, they gave you a hearing test. And there you were, so tiny and sweet, with those electrodes all over you. And I... prayed that you would be deaf. When they told us that you were hearing, I felt... My heart sank.

      Ruby Rossi: [signing] Why?

      Jackie Rossi: [signing] I was worried that we wouldn't connect. Like me and my mom, we're not close. I thought I would fail you. That being deaf would make me a bad mom.

      Ruby Rossi: [signing] Don't worry. You are a bad mom for so many other reasons.

      [They laugh]

    Formulaic Yet Heartwarming
    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.
