Sian Heder
While the Boston movie itself seems to have gone the way of the Western, the appeal of its core themes, and its sensibility seems to remain.
From stunning performances all around, Coda is perfection from start to finish, keeping audiences engaged through humor, heart and genuine craftsmanship.
The performances Siân Heder draws from her actors always hits the right note that it’s nearly impossible for you to not fall in love with this movie.
2016’s Sundance Film Festival was a splashy show of muscle from streaming leaders Amazon and Netflix, with early headlines being grabbed by the latter for its pre-festival acquisition of Tallulah. The film reunites Juno stars Ellen Page and Allison Janney for another movie that circles around a baby, but this time Page’s character isn’t as up front about the child’s origins. Tallulah is the kind of film that likely would’ve found a home with a major studio’s independent label, like Juno’s deal with Fox Searchlight, before the streaming companies pushed into feature distribution.
