I knew nothing about this movie until the nominations were announced. What a pleasant surprise! The lead performance by Emilia Jones was.perfection. I was shocked when I learned she was English. All the performances were great, especially Troy Kotsur, Marlee Marlin and Daniel Durant, who all happen to be deaf in real life. Movies don't usually get me all emotional, but the scene on the truck between Ruby and her father, and the scene with Both Sides Now brought tears to my eyes. I loved this movie from start to finish and have already watched it twice.
