Breaking all records with its $25 million Sundance sale, indie film ‘CODA’ promises to shake up the inclusion landscape, says its star MarleeMatlin: “To have a hearing actor put on a deaf character as if it was a costume — we’ve moved beyond that point”

with her family. Shortly after the film started, she could tell something was wrong.

Matlin knew music was a big part of the movie — an ’80s-inspired punk take on the classic Disney villain — and she could tell that there were songs playing under star Emma Stone’s onscreen kidnapping of dalmatians, but the songs’ lyrics were not showing up in her caption glasses: wearable tech that theaters provide to deaf and hard-of-hearing customers that overlay subtitles on a movie.

MarleeMatlin CHVRCHES this u?

MarleeMatlin So to be an actor, you must already have the attributes/disability written for the character? That means acting is no longer a talent that can be trained. Makes zero sense.

MarleeMatlin Is she stupid or what? The whole point of acting is to put on a costume! this insanity that only people who are literally like the character they play is utterly illogical & ridiculous. Im pretty sure acting has been that way since shakepeare had men playing female roles.

MarleeMatlin 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
