CODA2021

this shit hit me harder than i expected. it’s a raw, real film that tears down the noise of the world to remind you of the simplest, purest forms of connection. the film feels like it’s about those moments when you’re torn between what you love and who you love. Ruby’s torn between chasing her dream and staying with her family, who can’t even hear the music that fuels her soul. that’s some heavy shit. for me, music was always the thing i turned to when words failed, and in this film, music is almost a language Ruby’s family can never fully experience. the scene where Ruby sings to her family using sign language, it just fucking wrecks me. that’s a reminder what music is all about.......communication beyond words.
