Seventeen-year-old Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the sole hearing member of a deaf family – a CODA, child of deaf adults. Her life revolves around acting as interpreter for her parents (Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur) and working on the family's struggling fishing boat every day before school with her father and older brother (Daniel Durant). But when Ruby joins her high school’s choir club, she discovers a gift for singing and soon finds herself drawn to her duet partner Miles (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo). Encouraged by her enthusiastic, tough-love choirmaster (Eugenio Derbez) to apply to a prestigious music school, Ruby finds herself torn between the obligations she feels to her family and the pursuit of her own dreams.

"CODA is the kind of movie that makes you want to stand up and cheer."
— Kristy Puchko, Pajiba
"CODA puts an effervescent and original spin on the coming-of-age comedy-drama."
— Richard Whittaker, Austin Chronicle
"No theatrics, no gimmicks - just a wonderful coming-of-age gem that aims directly at the heart and hits the bullseye."
— Mara Reinstein, Us Weekly
"You’ll laugh, all right. You’ll cry. You’ll do both at the same time. CODA is just that kind of movie. And thank goodness for it."
— Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"By the time the movie reaches its poignant, beautiful conclusion, I defy anyone to have a dry eye. CODA is about letting go and letting your loved ones soar."
— Amy Amatangelo, Paste Magazine
"What is surprising is the moving, even heartbreaking, way writer-director Heder tells Ruby’s story without resorting to clichéd characterizations or syrupy sentimentality."
— John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
"Each performance breathes life and nuance into what could easily have been a misfire. Instead, the result is tremendously sweet, uproariously funny and one of the best crowd-pleasers this year."
— Siddhant Adlakha, Observer
"Most of all, [Heder] makes us see and believe in our bones that the Rossis are a real family with real chemistry, with real bonds and trials of their own, both unique and universal just like any other family."
— Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
"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."
— Jon Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter
"You'll laugh, you'll cry and all steps in between at this vital family entertainment with a title that stands for Children of Deaf Adults. Oscar winner Marlee Matlin and newcomer Emilia Jones turn this emotional powerhouse into one of the year's best movies."
— Peter Travers, ABC News
"As much CODA is a film about a hearing person’s relationship to deafness and Deaf culture, it’s just as much about deaf characters’ relationships to a hearing world, whose norms most hearing people take for granted, and whose obstacles can impact everything from labor to self-worth."
— Siddhant Adlakha, Observer
"What could feel cliched at various turns deftly avoids that, capturing Ruby’s plight in a way that recalls any number of coming-of-age stories while still feeling unexpectedly fresh and distinctive. There have been a number of first-rate movies about teenage girls in the last few years, but few that were better."
— Brian Lowry, CNN
