As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family.
When the family’s fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her
love of music and her fear of abandoning her parents.
(* Our Score)
CODA is an absolutely fantastic masterpiece that deserves a full 5-star rating. It tells the deeply moving story of a deaf family and their total reliance on their only hearing daughter, Ruby, for their daily survival and their grueling fishing business. Without her support, the family faces a literal and existential "bankruptcy." However, the film's true heart lies in the realization that every child has their own life to pursue. Despite her initial strong resistance, the mother eventually understands her daughter's needs, and the father ultimately finds the courage to let Ruby follow her dreams. A powerful lesson for every parent on the importance of letting go so their children can soar.
