G. Allen Johnson

Sounds like silly fun -- and Linda Linda Linda is -- but it is also an extremely well-written, emotionally complex coming-of-age tale that has a John Hughesian respect for teenage angst. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

These girls can cook, and Yamashita captures them with an austere, unhurried visual style that has been rightly compared to rock aficionado/filmmakers Aki Kaurismaki ("Ariel") and Jim Jarmusch ("Mystery Train"). [8 Dec 2006, p.2]

Sean Axmaker

Where you might expect either overheated teen melodrama or cartoonish farce, Nobuhiro creates a lively, engaging, character-driven piece with flourishes of offbeat humor dancing around the dynamics of the foursome as they pull together in rehearsals. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

The irritations and tedium of high school life are staged with refreshing simplicity, while the performers interact with an age-appropriate naturalness the American teenage movie rarely achieves. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Dennis Harvey

This aimless, lifeless time-killer about four teenage girls prepping for their rock-band gig in a school talent show proves entirely the wrong choice. Read full review

Las ideas se expresan con sutileza e inocencia, por lo tanto dista bastante del cine contemporáneo que tanto se engrandece, aquí no hay ritmos exagerados, ni visiones adolescentes y sin pragmatismo (vease Sing Street). Chistes aparte, esta película es única en su modo de expresión y en su visión de la música como un medio y no como un fin.… Expand
