CODA

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
