Sian Heder’s inspiring, barrier-smashing drama “CODA” picked up three Oscars this week. Now it’s headed back into theaters for a well-deserved victory lap.
In addition to its Best Picture win, "CODA" also picked up statuettes for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor . Kotsur’s nomination made him the first deaf man to be nominated for an acting Oscar, and his win makes him the second deaf actor to win an Academy Award. The first was his "CODA" co-star Marlee Matlin, who won Best Actress in 1987 for "Children of a Lesser God." Emilia Jones and Eugenio Derbez in"CODA," now streaming on Apple TV+.
The modest family drama "CODA" straddles two decidedly different eras of filmmaking. On the retro side, it’s an old-fashioned Sundance Film Festival crowdpleaser that won a Grand Jury prize and was snapped up by a big distributor. On the more contemporary side, the buyer in that deal was Apple, which has turned the film into a showcase for its expanding streaming service.
It turns out that the middle of the Venn diagram between the 1990s indie boom and the 2020s streaming boom is a project that resembles a sweet, well-intentioned, well-acted TV movie. That’s not necessarily a dig: "CODA" may impart certain warm life lessons but boasts some cultural specificity to high-schooler Ruby and her status as the only hearing member of a deaf family.
