See “CODA” – it’s heartwarming and beautifully acted in the lead roles by a mostly non-hearing cast!

I haven’t seen any of them, but I do like the look of ‘Belfast’. That will be one I want to watch.
Best wishes, Pete.

That’s a really good one Pete…I also think you’d like “Power Of The Dog” as well, and “CODA” is a happy gem!
