Coda is an English-language remake of the 2014 French film La Famille Bélier, directed by Éric Lartigau. Following its box office success in France, producer Philippe Rousselet approached Massachusetts-born filmmaker Heder about the possibility of adapting the story for a US audience.
After some discussion, Heder and Matlin refused to proceed with the film unless they could cast actors who were deaf in real life. "I had three deaf roles that I wanted to be played by deaf actors," Heder told BBC culture editor Katie Razzall. "And so there wasn't really the opportunity to plug in a bunch of movie stars."
"Many deaf people have felt like they can relate to the film, as well as Codas, children of deaf adults. I have Coda daughter and so many of my deaf friends also have Coda children and it's very hard for them to explain their process going through life having deaf parents." "I had so much to learn for this movie," Jones told the BBC's Colin Paterson. "The film is about a culture and a family that's rarely seen on screen.
With hindsight, Heder had nothing to worry about. Coda received its world premiere at a virtual Sundance festival, debuting to warm reviews from critics. It was quickly- a record for the festival but a relative bargain considering what it has gone on to do. "Some bits I found a bit uncomfortable, it felt like it was aimed more at a hearing audience than a deaf or coda audience."
The film has only three nominations in total - best adapted screenplay, best supporting actor and best picture.
It’s a superb film, hopefully it will get the lot.
It could. Yes.
Could I care less?
Not enough black actors, so probably won't win. wokecrap Diversity 🙄

No. The best picture is that one of Donald Trump hanging out with Epstein
