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.
“CODA is a radiant, deeply satisfying heartwarmer that more than embraces formula; it locates
the pleasure and pureness in it, reminding us of the comforting, even cathartic, gratifications of a
feel-good story well told.”– Josh Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter
“CODA tenderly captures the unique beats of familial love with startling specificity and, ultimately,
universality.” – Tomris Laffly, Harper’s Bazaar
