[B]CODA. 2021[/B]. Apple TV.  CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults.  The film could have used a better name.  This movie stars Emilia Jones as Ruby Rossi, a child of deaf parents.  She has been nominated for several acting awards (but not an Oscar). The movie is a best picture nominee.  I knew Ms. Jones from Locke & Key on Netflix and she puts in an impressive performance here. Marlee Maitlin is her deaf mom, Troy Kotsur her deaf dad and Daniel Durant her deaf brother.  All three actors are deaf.  The movie is set in Gloucester, MA, and the family are fishermen.  Ruby helps out, going out at 3:00 AM to fish, then going to school.  She struggles at school, socially and academically.  She faces tremendous pressure to help her family, as the only hearing person in it.  She joins choir, in part due to a boy (she does sing on the boat) and finds a music teacher who tutors her and helps her explore her musical talents.  But those obligations start to conflict with the demands her family places on her.  It's wonderful movie really.  Touching, moving and the acting is really good across the board.  As a hearing impaired person I had wanted to see it and it exceeded my expectations.  Ms. Jones is on the radar now for future stardom.
