A beautiful touching story with amazing style of animation
bohdanascheinostova4 April 2024
This simple animated fairy tale is the perfect combination of comedy, emotive moving story and brilliant artistic quality. I was really pleasantly surprised by Chicken for Linda and how it managed to balance out witty non-awkward humour with more serious motives such as loss of your loved ones or a troubling mother-daughter relationship. I was fully invested in the story and on one hand I laughed at its clever jokes and on the other hand I even shed a tear in the end for its touching message. What also has to be mentioned is the simple yet beautiful animation that creates just the right setting and atmosphere.

9/10
A lovely, loving film.

As usual #Locarno76 you have no idea what you are going to see, but you DO know it is going to be good. We were not disappointed. Writing this the morning after there is a LOT to this film. Love, loss, struggling with daily life, keeping your promises and lots more. All stemming from that one dish of chicken with peppers...

Amazing what can be portrayed in terms of emotions and feelings from what look like 'simple' graphics. Possibly simple because it is seen from the eyes of the daughter, Linda.

Some very tense moments interspersed with comic relief. I absolutely loved the cat and his antics. The relationship between the two sisters was also a very noteworthy one as well as the friendship between the children.

A lovely animation that can be enjoyed on very many different levels. Last night the children were laughing and so were the adults, but at different things. A must see.
