94% Tomatometer 296 Reviews 91% Audience Score 1,000+ Ratings Seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the sole hearing member of a deaf family -- a CODA, child of deaf adults. Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family's struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high school's choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and soon finds herself drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Coda is a Mort (‘Middle Of Road Tearjerker’) and if that’s what you like, you will like this. Mar 31, 2022 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker The sense of calculation makes the journey feel like a lockstep march; the movie’s sense of a story that’s dictated rather than observed makes its good feelings feel bad. Feb 24, 2022 Full Review Mara Reinstein Us Weekly No theatrics, no gimmicks - just a wonderful coming-of-age gem that aims directly at the heart and hits the bullseye. Dec 28, 2021 Full Review Zach Youngs InSession Film It leaves you in a puddle of emotion, but by the end you realize it’s a good puddle. It’s a puddle of satisfaction, hope, and a full heart. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Aditya Mani Jha Firstpost Coda refuses to rehash the well-worn tropes of this May-December subgenre, swapping it out for an almost Bergman-like contemplativeness. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Nadine Whitney Mr. Movie's Film Blog CODA is a delight, a warm hug of a film that knows its genre and makes the very most of it. Siân Heder’s script is simple, and the message that she sends is heartfelt. A crowd-pleaser with love to spare. Sep 17, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Umm… Wow, just wow. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful movie. Loved it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Leonardo M In a nutshell, girl chooses her career instead of her family because she is supposed to follow her "dreams" and her family is dragging her down. Another American movie with the same American cliches. I wanted to puke through the whole movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Irene M I've been waiting for years to be able to see this movie. and when I did, I had NO IDEA it was about a singer, and Berklee, which made it all the more enjoyable. The acting was extraordinary. I very much enjoyed so much about it....except *what time of year* did they film in Gloucester??? one cannot ride one's bike all the way into the fall! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Craig C Great movie well made bring the tissues Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Remedios L I liked everything except the following: 1. The personal sexual problem of Mr. & Mrs. Rossi and their vocalness about sex 2. The imprudent entry of Miles into the bedroom of Ruby 3. The disrespectful intimacy between Leo and Ruby's friend 4. The show of Ruby's friend's sexual appetite Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
