The movie centers on Ruby Rossi ( Locke and Keystar Emilia Jones), a shy high school senior and the film's titular CODA. While CODA claiming Best Picture may seem like a shock that came out of nowhere, the movie (which holds a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes) has been slowly-but-surely building buzz since its August 2021 release. CODA, which stands for "Child of Deaf Adults" has been circling around the film world for more than a year now, ever since debuting at Sundance 2021 and selling to Apple TV+ for a record-setting $25 million. Starting in 2017, we've seen the following Best Picture winners, in order: Moonlight (only after one of the most confusing, chaotic, and memorable ends to an award show ever), The Shape of Water (a movie, we remind you, about a mute woman falling in love with a sea monster), Green Book (we're with Spike Lee on this one), Parasite(an absolute masterpiece and a victory for film lovers everywhere), and Nomadland(a solid movie that doesn't seem to have made much of a lasting impact culturally, if we're being honest).ĭespite many major, high-profile contenders-a sci-fi-epic in Dune, one of Steven Spielberg's best in West Side Story, Jane Campion's bold and sweeping The Power of the Dog, just to name a few-the top prize of 2022 went to a movie called CODA. Jones is even better, meeting head on what is in some ways a harder challenge, playing a just-like-life character.It's been an up-and-down recent history for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Jennifer Hudson is very good in the role, taking advantage of the opportunity that playing a larger-than-life character offers. Villalobos, assigns Ruby and Miles a duet on “You’re All I Need to Get By.” There’s another movie opening this week about a musical young woman, “Respect” - and Aretha Franklin sang “You’re All I Need,” too. She’s like a cross between the young Winona Ryder and the young Kate Winslet.

Ruby is an underdog worth rooting for, and Jones (the Netflix series “Locke & Key”) is terrific.
Even more, though, the crowd-pleasing is owing to Jones. Partly, that’s because of the conventionality. A big hit at Sundance last winter, where it won both grand jury and audience awards, writer-director Sian Heder’s second film (”Tallulah,” her first, came out in 2016) is a real crowd-pleaser. This inside-out quality truly sets apart and distinguishes an otherwise conventional movie.
