CODA

Despite a modest 75% Rotten Tomatoes score, CODA made history as the first film licensed by Amazon to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. This heartwarming story follows a hearing child of deaf adults who pursues her dream of music, delivering an authentic blend of humor and emotion. Faster than the typical coming-of-age drama, CODA earned $1.6 million per theater in its opening weekend, surpassing Sound of Metal's box office impact and proving critical consensus isn't everything.
