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!!!
Plot summary

Lovely, warm and humorous
I WASN'T GOING TO CRY, BUT THEN THEY DEPLOYED THE JONI MITCHELL.
A captivating and heart-warming coming of age story, with a perfect, powerful and earnest performance from Emilia Jones. It does a fantastic job of expressing its themes of family and chasing your dreams, whilst balancing it with some hilarious comedic moments. A definitely must see.
