Recently saw CODA… or, at least, the first half of it. Yeah, I turned it off halfway through, because it was just sort of disappointing. The scenes with the deaf parents were absolutely amazing (I didn’t think sign language dialogue could be so funny), but the High School Musical subplot with the generic teen girl was painful to sit through. You could see every single plot point coming from a mile away. I’m all for deaf representation, but this is the second Best Picture winner in a row that really didn’t deserve to win.
