      Nina Li Coomes Chicago Reader Astounding, vivid, and lively. May 3, 2024 Full Review Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times Unforgettable flavor is what the uproarious, sublimely gorgeous hand-drawn musical “Chicken for Linda!” serves. Apr 13, 2024 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter If some of the jokes can be broad and childish (the film probably plays best for the 10-and-under set), the overall tone is so tender that you can’t help but be moved by Linda’s nonstop adventures. Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A kind of hot-color eyebath, with your brain turned off... Apr 27, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A delightful odyssey through Paris and beyond as everything that can go wrongs seems to. Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Sumner Forbes Film Threat Kids will get a kick out of it, and adults will embrace the detail that goes into portraying the complexities of parenthood that are often glossed over by many. Rated: 8.5/10 Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

      Simon L This was a delight to watch. The music, animation and dialogue were the perfect balance of captivating and hilarious. Its broad exploration of longing through the slim lens of a handful of lives was something I haven’t seen done so well before, and it managed to do it in a way that had me laughing and crying both until the end. I saw this with another person and we talked about it all the way home and long after. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Lan O This is pure fun. The animation is great and the story is very basic, but so charming. The score was great too. If you want to have fun for 73 minutes straight, this is the film to watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
