Allie: What percent Kit-movie was CODA?

Me: That was lab-grown to be a Kit-movie. Let’s take:
- Boats
- Deaf culture and ASL
- Singing
- Complex family relationships at the core of the dramatic question
- Incredibly well-honed and delicately considered emotional reality for all the characters
- Female protagonist
- Long silent scenes in which we hear the clinking of dishes, but also have dialogue, because ASL is magic

…and I'm expected to do anything other than love it?
