'Coda' is a small movie that hits all the right notes
CNN
"Coda" is a small movie, exquisitely made. Touching, funny and stirring, it would be the kind of movie you'd urge a friend to run out and see, except they'll only need to stay home and ante up to stream it on Apple TV+.
The tech giant's streaming service stepped up to buy the film for what Deadline reported to be a record sum coming out of the Sundance Film Festival, and at a moment where a lot of money's being thrown around for such acquisitions -- chasing awards prestige, attention or a little of both -- this one actually looks well spent. The streaming environment also spares the film -- which brings to mind the old Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movies -- from competing in the rough-and-tumble of the theatrical space, although that also might exacerbate the challenge when awards time rolls around.More Related News
