CODA stands for ‘Child of Deaf Adults.’ It’s a perfect name for Sian Heder’s (Tallulah) feel-good movie of the summer. While it sometimes feels like a sappy Hallmark or Lifetime original, CODA is held together by its protagonist, Ruby (Emilia Jones – What We Did on Our Holiday, Two for Joy), a seventeen-year-old high school senior and the only non-deaf member of her eccentric but loving deaf family.
