"It's the kind of high-school movie about kids and music that Hollywood would never be able to capture with such intimacy, nuance and restraint." - Ted Fry, Seattle Times
"An understated and disarmingly human tale." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
In this effervescent charmer, Kei, Kyoko, and Nozomi’s plan to perform at their high school concert is spoiled when their lead vocalist quits their rock band. Desperate, they recruit the first person they see: Korean exchange student Son (Doona Baa, THE HOST, BROKER), whose understanding of Japanese is...minimal, and the girls only have three days to get in harmony before the big show. Featuring songs from The Blue Hearts and Base Ball Bear, the euphorically delightful LINDA LINDA LINDA—declared one of the best Japanese films of the 21st century by Indiewire—returns to the big screen with a brand new 4K restoration. Siskel Film Center exclusive.
