Apple’s Best Picture–winning film CODA arrives on 4K UHD, giving audiences the most visually and sonically rich home release the movie has received to date. The story follows Ruby Rossi (Emilia Jones), the only hearing member of her deaf family, who must navigate her love for singing while honoring her responsibilities at home. The film earned three Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur.
Video Quality
The 4K transfer preserves the film’s naturalistic cinematography with noticeable improvements in clarity and texture. Color grading feels true to the original, with warm tones during family sequences and crisp detail in performance scenes. HDR adds subtle depth, especially in low-light moments aboard the fishing boat and during Ruby’s musical auditions.
Audio Quality
Though the film intentionally uses restraint in its sound design, the Dolby Atmos (or Dolby TrueHD 7.1—depending on final disc specifications) mix provides a clean and immersive experience. Dialogue is clear, ambient sound is richly layered, and musical numbers are delivered with excellent warmth and fullness. Most importantly, the release retains the film’s thoughtful sound perspective during scenes that center on the deaf characters.
Bonus Features
(If Apple includes the same supplements from past digital releases, the physical version may feature:)
- Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes
- “CODA: A Musical Journey”
- Interviews with cast and creative team
- Commentary or insights into ASL representation (TBD)
(If bonus content is not confirmed yet, this section can be updated once specs are official.)
Final Thoughts
This is the strongest home release of CODA to date, combining emotional storytelling with a clean 4K presentation and impactful audio mix. Whether revisiting the film or experiencing it for the first time, this UHD edition delivers a high-quality upgrade worthy of its award-winning legacy.
