10. It's only available on Apple TV+. It's a great film that deserved every award it won.

It won Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. Previously it won a ton of awards at Sundance, and in a war with Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, Apple paid $25 million for the rights to it.

The casting was perfect and had actual deaf actors playing the parents of the family. The actor who played the father won Best Actor and earned it. He was awesome! The one hearing family member was a teenage girl. To prepare for the part, she learned American Sign Language, learned how to fish on a trawler (the family's business is fishing), and took voice lessons for the singing she did (which was great).

It is a special film with a lot of heart. It will definitely make you laugh and it may make you cry.
