CODA (2021, Apple TV)
For a film that won the academy award for best picture this seems to have a pretty low profile. I also didn’t know that Emelia Jones was Aled Jones' daughter. It’s a coming-of-age film about a teenage girl who is emancipated from her close-knit but culturally limited family circumstances by the transcendent power of song!
It’s cheesy, it’s heartfelt, it’s beautiful.
