This movie is slow. I had no idea where it was going at first. We seemingly don't have a true protagonist. Benedict Cumberbatch gives a stellar performance because he truly made me loath his character. And yet I can't stop thinking about it. All because of that ending and delicious twist that made the whole experience so very worth it.
I got to see an advance screening of CODA and it was a beautiful story that pulled on the heartstrings. I loved the inclusivity- the deaf characters were played by deaf actors! Emilia Jones was a fantastic lead and her voice was beautiful. I already can't wait to see her star in more movies. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with this film.
I might have enjoyed this film a bit more if the "twist" hadn't been so blatantly obvious. It was immediately apparent from the very first start and the movie dragged from the process of continuously thinking it was fooling you.
