    Really great movie. As much as it embarrasses me to so fully enjoy a film with entirely female protagonists that doesn't involve blood drenched violence and raunchy sex scenes, I really can't argue with its greatness.

    "Even for those entirely unfamiliar with the history of Japanese rock music this film's infectious, three-chord charm will prove hard to resist." -Tom Mes, Midnight Eye

    Very nice movie about a Japanese all-girl punk rock band. Heh. Kinda too long, though. Other than that, good.

    This is on the All Time Top 10 for me. Maybe even Top 5. http://www.pcal.net/blog/2006/03/linda-linda-lin.html

    I honestly can't find fault with this because it's so much a slice of life type of picture, that it's like just hanging out with your friends and kicking it while trying to put on a band. Knowing what it's like to be a teenager and put together projects, this had a nice touch for me. And the cast, music, and visuals were a blast. An entertaining film that's worth seeing. :)

    Very good movie! For once, Japanese youth is portrayed in a somewhat accurate way and not fetishized.. It's a little gem of pop culture and I have a weak spot for this type of films..

    Starts off pretty slow and was kind of hard to get into but the second and third act were much more interesting. It was enjoyable but the first act really didn't set the tone. Worth watching though.

    Highly recommended for fans of Japanese music. Very subtle movie with some shots that are reminiscent of Wes Anderson films.

    I'm talking about Japanese high school girls who form a rock 'n' roll band, choose an infectious song ("Linda Linda Linda"), and pull out all the stops to perform in their school's talent show. You'll come out singing the damn song.
