From the Oscars going back to Sundance, why 'CODA' was always something special.
From the moment it premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, “CODA” seemed destined for something special. The story of a high school senior who is the only hearing member of her household, the movie deftly balances comedy, drama and a little romance to chart the ups and downs of everyday family life. And does so with the unique perspective of three significant deaf characters played by Deaf actors .
It would go on to win an unprecedented four awards at the indie festival and was acquired by Apple TV+ for a record-breaking $25 million to launch on the streamer with a concurrent theatrical release. Although its release in August 2021 was relatively quiet, the critically acclaimed movie stuck around through a competitive awards season and slowly but surely proved its ability to stand out from the pack. In January it landed Oscar nominations for adapted screenplay, supporting actor and best picture.
By the time it won the top prizes at both the Screen Actors Guild and Producers Guild Awards, it became the unexpected front-runner for the best picture Oscar. Time will tell if “CODA” takes the big prize. But its journey — as tracked by The Times beginning at Sundance — sure has been sweet.
