” shows itself as an outstanding example for representation in the disability community, and could be one of the heartwarming family films of the year that finds its way to Academy attention., which bought the film at the Sundance Film Festival for a record-breaking $25 million, “CODA” is bowing in theaters and on the streaming platform.
It’s a straightforward family tale that doesn’t challenge the viewer, but does manage to pack a considerable amount of joy in its 117-minute runtime. Reminiscent of August releases such as “The Help,” the movie feels like one that, under pre-pandemic circumstances, could have become a crossover hit at the box office. The limited theatrical run, however, won’t lead to the kind of box office numbers that would have bolstered the narrative for its awards prospects.
For writer and director Heder, her run for a nomination could be difficult in both adapted screenplay and directing, especially given the movie’s lighter tone. However, what will keep her in the conversation is the disheartening truth that this season isn’t as robust with female filmmakers as last year. Coming off a year that included Emerald Fennell and Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao , the bench doesn’t seem as deep this year.
