I'm not one that gets emotional during movies very often, but this film had even me shedding a few tears. First and foremost, on a general note, it's been incredible to see the amount of accurate and respectful deaf representation in cinema recently. From this, Sound of Metal, and the Quiet Place franchise (and hell, even the use of ASL in Godzilla v. Kong), actual deaf actors and the deaf community are getting the representation in cinema they deserve. Further, the predominantly deaf audience I had the privilege of seeing this film with was elated to find that captions would be provided ON SCREEN, and not with captiview equipment. Hopefully, this film helps usher this accessibility in as a standard, and not an exception. Now, focusing on CODA specifically, it's a brilliantly written and acted story was clearly a labor of love for all involved. You can tell how much the director cared about doing the story justice and accurately capturing the struggles and hardships the deaf community face, as well as the community and love they all share. During this film, you really feel as though you are a part of this family, and their struggles become your struggles. This movie had me laughing, crying, and smiling the whole way through. It's a movie literally anyone can enjoy. This movie really struck a chord with me, and it probably will for you too. So do yourself a favor and see it when it's out. It deserves your support.
