11/22/2023 0 Comments Cast of coda 2021![]() One day Ruby tries out for the school choir where she realises she actually has a pretty great singing voice, good enough that she might even be able to get into Berklee College of Music and so she starts preparing for it, which in turn means she’s unable to help out her family. As CODA goes on, Ruby is forced to choose between her dreams and her family while her family tries to figure out how they can keep afloat when the world seems to be throwing a barrier like this in their way.įrom start to finish, CODA might be one of the more charming little films to be in awards contention this year. It’s just a good, sweet family dramedy with an incredibly loveable main cast of characters and a story that’s simple but effective. Its simple story really allows the cast the chance to shine and elevate the material (which is already genuinely pretty great) into something special. There’s real heart here, a warmth that emanates through every frame of CODA. You want a film that could be used as a quick definition of heartwarming? Here you go, this is that film, a film that’s impossible to dislike because it is just so sweet. There are so many glorious little touches that CODA does, from hiding what certain pieces of sign language mean from those who don’t understand it in order to set up a joke or the moments when they just cut the sound out completely to put us in the headspace of the Rossi family. While the film making itself is very standard (well done, but it’s standard framing and editing), these little moments help us really connect with this family on another level beyond what we would from just the performances alone. Indeed, it’s the performances from the cast of CODA that just turn this film from something great into something truly special. It’s the poster child for why you should cast deaf actors in deaf roles because there’s a reality and a sincerity to every one of the performances from the Rossi family, particularly Troy Kotsur who practically steals the entire film from his spot as the grizzly dad just trying to get by who is set in his ways. It’s the kind of performance that you finish watching and then mentally prepare for his Oscar speech. Same with Marlee Matlin, who frankly should’ve also been nominated, she gets to prove why she’s one of the greats and delivers a glorious comedic performance. It’s also just impossible to ignore the hilarious and fun banter between the brother-sister combo of Ruby and Leo.
