Provincetown 2021: CODA
★★★★★ CODA exploded out of the gate when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Almost instantly, Apple Studios made a record-breaking $25 million deal for worldwide distribution. Fast forward to the 2021 Provincetown International Film Festival, and I was finally able to see CODA after much hype and buildup… and it is one of … Continue reading Provincetown 2021: CODA
