A music video focusing on the touching relationship between Ruby and her father.

I am a deaf adult who has raised 2 sons, 1 with a disability and and 1 "normal". This movie is Awesome, beautiful, courageous, (I won't do the entire alphabet) but it means so much to me. We need more movies like this today. To lift people. Thanks for your post.. it's wonderful 😊

Anyone else cried just listening to this angelic voice?

Emilia Jones should have been nominated and won for best actress shame on the academy! She is the one who did most of the work! Signing singing fishing and using an American dialect! Best film I ever saw!

I am crying and weeping uncontrollably with happy tears for all the beautiful people who can’t hear this song but who feel it more than people who hear .

[mikeshaffrey]

This is a movie that only comes along once in a lifetime. It touched me deeply, and I am a better person for having watched it.

I had argument with my brother and he’s hearing impaired and a couple hours I watched this movie and I realized how blessed I am to have him as my brother could not stop crying.

I loved this film .. saw it last night. I loved the scene where her father asks her to sing .. and the scene where she is performing in school and they mute the whole music to show to the audience how her family is perceiving the whole show. And the last scene where she signs in this song. What a heartwarming film <3 Hope it wins the oscars as it has a great message which the whole worlds needs to see for a more compassionate and kinder world.

Watching this from Japan. This is not just a great movie for disability community but the greatest one of all time. This coming-of-age movie appeals to your deepest self. Tender, raw, and passionate. You'll turn to every cringe you've ever had in your life. That is how well this movie depicts your life. If you haven't watched it yet, you're missing something important in your life.

She resented her family a bit because she never had a normal childhood & had to be “responsible” for them at an early age interpreting in their behalf to the hearing people in their community.

She was also bullied in school and there was a bit of dialogue that she had a “speech problem” developing normal vocal sounds growing up around deaf people and found early on that singing/music was not only her outlet but eventually corrected the “freakish voice” (as per her bully schoolmates) as she got older.

The scene where her parents could not hear her sing in the Fall Concert was heart-breaking & had to rely on the reactions of other people around them to know if their daughter, Ruby really was a good singer. Just showed how alienated and isolated (& even insecure) the deaf family is from the hearing people in their town.

Then later her father held her neck to “hear” her sing was a very poignant moment.

It was beautiful, funny, & emotional. When she sang & signed BOTH SIDES NOW (A Joni Mitchell song) I lost it.

BASED ON A FRENCH FILM . Btw, Emilia Jones (Ruby) is a British/Actress who gave a flawless North Eastern American accent, but also sang beautifully & signed perfectly — the latter which she did not know how in the beginning.

Emilia should have an Oscar nomination for this amazing performance. We will cherish it anyway!

[VVylt]

Wow wow wow I am extremely proud child of deaf parents and my family is so happy to see this big win 🙏🏻❤️ Bless you all

[MikeeYowee]

Hell yeah! Put that "Oscars 2022 Best Picture Winner" in the title as it should. This film deserved it.

[profatomo]

This song perfectly depicted Ruby's own personal experience with her family. It's the perfect CODA to this very special movie. I was in tears when she sang this, realizing how aptly true and poignant the lyrics were to her own life and relationship to her family.

[stevethevirgoman]

This movie will win the Oscar because of this beautiful performance..amazing

[imsantitos]

Never had one word in a movie hit me as hard as "go!" did in this movie. Such a fantastic movie.

[alicequinn]

I love this movie and this is one of my favorite songs reimagined and even more beautiful! I can't stop watching this and cry every time she starts signing the lyrics to her family. The movie also has fun moments and wonderful family moments. Best movie I have seen in a long time!

[buggycars]

It is as close to a perfect movie as you can make. Moves right to the top of my favorites list. Emilia is a brilliant singer and a rising actress talent for sure. I think the only reason she didn’t win an Oscar is because she is a newcomer and they probably just want to see more of her. She certainly deserved it.

[agos]

both this film and the French version “famille belier” are masterpieces, I never stop crying every time I see them. just listen to the songs!

[signer]

The "truck scene" always gets me! Now I want to watch the movie again. Beautifully done!

[Yorkinshock]

I would say this is the best movie I have seen these few years by far the most touching movie! I really love her voice accompanied by her sign language she learned within 9 months! Thank you for producing such an amazing movie!
