LOS ANGELES: The Sundance Film Festival, forced online this year by the pandemic, quietly opened to a virtual standing ovation for deaf family drama CODA Thursday.
Taking its title from an acronym for child of deaf adult, CODA follows high-school teen Ruby (Emilia Jones) as she juggles her musical ambitions with her fisherman family s dependence on her to communicate with the hearing world.
The first in-competition film to stream for remote attendees of the prestigious indie festival, it drew immediate rave reviews, with Variety calling it tender, lively, funny, and beautifully stirring, and Deadline praising a breakout performance from Jones ( Locke & Key .)
