CODA 4K 2021

CODA is a beautiful movie that tells the story of a 17-year-old high school girl, Ruby, who has a deaf family who makes a living catching and selling fish. As it happens, Ruby is the only hearing person in the family. She enrolls in the school choir where she discovers her talent for singing. Now she faces a choice: go to Berkeley (a prestigious music college) or stay with her family and help them with their work and daily life. This heartbreaking drama is about the difficult choice she has to make.

I want to mention the cast of the film - it is beautiful and convincing. The acting is really on the mark, you don't even want to single out anyone. Everyone works as a single living mechanism which helps you get involved in the movie and empathize with it until the very end. Another important aspect of the film that makes it better and gives the right atmosphere is the music. It's good, gentle and gracefully heartfelt. Personally, I really enjoyed it. The director plays well with the mood of the film, the funny, funny moments are competently served and alternate with the sad ones. The only thing to scold the film for is the predictability in the plot. A seasoned cinephile will probably guess at 30 minutes into the movie and see what it all leads to. But you can close your eyes to that, it does not make the movie any worse. The main thing is that the film raises an important topic for today. The viewer will see the everyday life of people with disabilities who are trying to find their place in life. Hopefully by the end credits the audience will begin to understand and empathize with deaf and dumb people.

CODA is a kind and life-affirming film that will not leave you indifferent.
