Sian Heder’s inspiring, barrier-smashing drama “CODA” is one of 10 films nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Picture. Here's where to watch it, what our critic had to say and what to watch next.
In addition to its Best Picture nod, "CODA" is also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor .Emilia Jones, Troy Kotsur, Marlee Matlin and Daniel Durant in"CODA," now streaming on Apple TV+
The modest family drama "CODA" straddles two decidedly different eras of filmmaking. On the retro side, it’s an old-fashioned Sundance Film Festival crowdpleaser that won a Grand Jury prize and was snapped up by a big distributor. On the more contemporary side, the buyer in that deal was Apple, which has turned the film into a showcase for their expanding streaming service.
It turns out that the middle of the Venn diagram between the 1990s indie boom and the 2020s streaming boom is a project that resembles a sweet, well-intentioned, well-acted TV movie. That’s not necessarily a dig: "CODA" may impart certain warm life lessons, but boasts some cultural specificity to high-schooler Ruby and her status as the only hearing member of a Deaf family.
