You’ll laugh, all right. You’ll cry. You’ll do both at the same time. CODA is just that kind of movie. And thank goodness for it.

As much CODA is a film about a hearing person’s relationship to deafness and Deaf culture, it’s just as much about deaf characters’ relationships to a hearing world, whose norms most hearing people take for granted, and whose obstacles can impact everything from labor to self-worth.

It’s a crowd-pleaser, to be sure, and a little on the corny side, but it’s so unwavering in its sincerity that it manages to hit all the right notes.

Director Sian Heder had an obvious aesthetic card to play with CODA, and she saves it for just the right moment.
Jan 30, 2021
Heder infuses the characters and plot with such deep emotion it makes up for its lack of narrative originality.
Aug 10, 2021
Two parts raw and real, one part manipulative, Coda finds engaging characters and real emotions in a hackneyed narrative arc. See it, though, for a terrific turn from Emilia Jones, if for no other reason than to say you were there at the beginning.

Where the Ruby-teacher relationship falters is not the fault of the actors, but the writer. Mr. V is meant to be slightly unreasonable, a hard-liner about Ruby being both serious and on time. But the script takes the very common and dubious tack of not letting the characters simply explain their situations to each other.

Flawless masterpiece. Amazing family drama with top notch acting and wrting.

(Mauro Lanari)Effective tearjerking remake programmatically modified for the US public with its questionable value system.Ps: the the most beautiful track of the score is the cover version of "You're All I Need To Get By" by the duo Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, a song released by Motown Records in 1968. Compared to the cover of Glee, the duet is better but arranged worse.

"CODA" is probably the best film made about the most offensive stereotypes of underrepresented diverse groups. It's very difficult to get through at times because Emilia Jones is translating everything that her family is communicating only for the audience's benefit not even within the truth of the movie so it's a really tough sit.
