The Rossi family aren't all cutouts the parents and the children all have their own different personality types, wants, desires, needs, and the movie makes sure this point isn't beat over your head, but rather done in a way that feels organic and true to the story being told and presented. What makes CODA worth your time is the way the story, in casting actors who are actually deaf in the roles, brings a humanity to characters who in past contexts may not have been given the same dimensionality. The movie's story really takes form as a few different threads emerge: Ruby takes a particular liking to singing after meeting an inspiring new music teacher (Eugenio Derbez), and her family struggle to keep their fishing business afloat amidst local issues.īut what makes CODA worth your time isn't necessarily being driven by the plot-a plot which is fairly predictable and that you've likely seen before. Ruby's family, including her parents, Frank (Troy Kotsur) and Jackie (Marlee Matlin) and brother, Leo (Daniel Durant), are all deaf, and Ruby helps as their interpreter. She lives with her family in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where they all work on her family's fishing boat the entire town's economy is built around fishing and selling catches.

The movie centers on Ruby Rossi ( Locke and Keystar Emilia Jones), a shy high school senior and the film's titular CODA. While CODA claiming Best Picture may seem like a shock that came out of nowhere, the movie (which holds a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes) has been slowly-but-surely building buzz since its August 2021 release.

Ruby has a gift for signing and is offered to join a prestigious music school by her choirmaster.It's been an up-and-down recent history for the Academy Award for Best Picture. But she has bigger dreams and a talent that is discovered when Ruby joins her high school’s choir club. Her whole life, Ruby has looked out for her family and been part of the family struggling fishing business. The film follows Ruby (Emilia Jones), a 17-year-old who is the only hearing member in her deaf family.
