Seen "CODA" yet?
The one that is on Apple TV, circa 2021. It has Marlee Matlin and I saw it last night for the first time. I was in tears several times during this movie, it was very moving and certainly worth my time. A very high quality movie. This is about a hearing girl born into a deaf family. (CODA = Child Of Deaf Adults) She discovers music and develops a real passion for it, though her family doesn't understand why. Made with a limited budget during the pandemic, I found the quality to be excellent.
A friend watched it with us, and though she had seen it 4 times already, she wanted to see it again. She is not deaf, but does teach ASL at a deaf school. Her comments about the signing were that "this is very spot-on". She also felt that every situation was quite realistic.
