Chicken for Linda!’s animation needs a big screen and emotional processing space

What is a beloved chicken dish if not a metaphor for grief?

Share All sharing options for: Chicken for Linda!’s animation needs a big screen and emotional processing space

From an initial read of the title, I was under the impression that Chicken for Linda! was about a little girl who really wanted a pet chicken. I was wrong. The French animated movie from directors Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach takes place in modern France and follows a little girl named Linda who really wants to eat chicken. Specifically chicken with peppers. For Linda’s mom, Paulette, who mostly serves up frozen meals and doesn’t really cook at all, making this dish is already a challenge.

And thanks to an ongoing general strike in their town, all the grocery shops are closed, which makes this quest even harder . But Paulette feels really guilty about wrongfully punishing Linda for swiping a treasured ring, so she heads to a farm to buy a live chicken. This begins Linda and Paulette’s daunting quest to kill, cook, and eat this chicken, something neither of them has even fathomed doing before.

It’s much less morbid than it sounds. Actually, it’s unexpectedly funny, while also being a bittersweet reflection on grief and memory.

Linda approaches her mission with bright-eyed determination that softens the hearts of authority figures and convinces an assortment of inexperienced people to take a stab at killing and preparing the chicken. Eventually, we learn just why Linda is fixated on this particular chicken-and-peppers meal: It’s something her late father, who she barely remembers, used to cook.

All the characters in the movie come to life in single-color blocks, rendered with distinct outlines. There’s a lovely tangibility to how they move: The cat operates as one big blob, except when it stretches out its paws. The policeman wriggles his long limbs around a drooping telephone cord. From a distance, the chickens are splashes of color and a curling outline, darting across the screen. Against the painted background, each frame is vibrant and dynamic.

Chicken for Linda! is chock-full of hijinks, with a lot of physical humor and hilarious situations that stem from the absurd nature of the plot. A cop pulls a gun on the chicken, since that’s the only way he knows how to possibly kill it. After stealing the chicken, Linda and her mom leap into the back of a vegetable delivery truck and hide out among crates of watermelons. There are moments when the movie lags, long chase scenes that get a little too abstract, and a handful of musical sequences that feel like they’re from another movie entirely. But even among the shenanigans and the loftier animated sequences, the movie is anchored in Linda and her desire for the coveted meal, her desire to connect with her father.

That family dynamic, the element that gives this otherwise lighthearted movie its weight, isn’t saved for an emotional gut punch at the end of the story, or turned into a nagging reminder constantly brought up by characters. Instead, it’s simply present in the background of the movie, seamlessly woven into every thread as we learn more about Linda, her mother, their relationship to each other, and how they relate to the rest of the characters we meet.

Linda’s grief and her inability to even really register it eventually builds up to a cathartic point, but it isn’t a heavy-handed emotional release. It’s a subtler epiphany, as she gets the chance to remember key details about her father. And through the process of seeking this moment together, Linda and her mother are finally able to connect, and to open up to their community, who all came together to help them try to eat this dang chicken. The movie is the perfect blend of silliness and serious, deep emotion that never becomes overstated, all told in bright, painted colors that deserve to be seen in theaters to experience their full glory.

Chicken for Linda! is out in select theaters starting April 5.

Netflix movie based on Stephen King novel has scene so grim it's making people pass out

The film is based on a 1992 novel by stephen king.

Niamh Shackleton

If you've watched any film adaption of Stephen King's books, you'll know that they're not for the faint-hearted.

From IT and Pet Sematary , to The Boogeyman and Children of the Corn, it's safe to say these movies are the type you'd not want to watch before going to bed.

In recent years, Netflix has acquired the rights to reboot many of the original films based on King's novels - as well as create some firsts.

One movie created exclusively for the streaming platform is Gerald's Game, starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood.

It's also directed by acclaimed horror movie director, Mike Flanagan . He's best known for projects such as The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, The Midnight Club and Midnight Mass.

Released in 2017, the movie's synopsis reads: "A woman accidentally kills her husband during foreplay. They had driven out to a remote area in an attempt to reignite their flailing relationship. Handcuffed to the bed, she soon becomes delirious."

While it was released a few years ago, a Netflix fan recently posted to the Netflix Bangers Facebook group and asked people for their thoughts on Gerald's Game.

One person replied: "Good movie, even better book!"

"Loved it - seen it 3x lol," replied another. "Can be uncomfortable in certain scenes but worth a watch."

"Well it is Stephen King!!!!! It’s good!!!" insisted a third.

Elsewhere, someone warned: "Be careful. The big climactic scene made me sick to my stomach. I had to take a break before I could come back and finish watching it."

A different person described it as 'terrifying'.

Echoing similar sentiments at the time of Gerald's Game' s release in 2017, another person said they nearly passed out while watching it.

The X user wrote: "Okay, I genuinely nearly just passed out. # GeraldsGame has been on pause for ten minutes. A film has NEVER affected me like that before."

They added in a follow up tweet : "Can't believe it affected me like it did. I swear I've seen worse. But I genuinely felt faint. Had to run to the loo and everything."

Despite its extremely gruesome scenes, the King favorite boasts a very impressive 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes .

One critic enjoyed Gerald's Game so much they argued that the movie was better than the book.

"There are few movies that manage to outdo their source material," they penned on the review site. "There are fewer still movies that are based on a Stephen King book and still manage to outdo the source material. Netflix original film Gerald's Game is one such movie."

Good luck to all those planning on giving it a watch...

Purdue vs UConn live stream: Watch the NCAA Championship for free

It’s time for the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. Here’s how to watch Purdue and UConn, two 1-seed teams, face off in the final game.

Is There a Free Purdue vs UConn Live Stream?

Other ways to watch the purdue vs uconn live stream, how to watch the purdue vs uconn live stream from abroad.

The National Championship is about to start, at 9:20 p.m. ET today, Monday, April 8, and it will be televised on TBS. But if you don’t have cable, there are still some ways you can watch a live stream of the men’s national championship for free.

You can watch a live stream of TBS and 70-plus other channels via either YouTube TV ‘s “Base Plan” or DirecTV Stream ‘s “Entertainment” plan. These are more expensive long-term than any of the other options we cover below, but they’re the only ones that comes with a free trial. With both services, you can watch for free for five days before either cancelling or paying for your first month.

• Udinese vs Inter live stream: Can you watch for free?
• Man United vs Liverpool live stream: Can you watch for free?
• Rangers vs Celtic live stream: Can you watch for free?

If you haven’t used the March Madness Live app/website yet, you can also watch a live stream of the game for free there. You typically need to sign in to a cable provider in order to watch this way, but you first get a free three-hour preview, which should be plenty of time to watch the game.

Outside of free trials, Max is the cheapest way to watch a live stream of the game. A subscription to Max costs just $10 per month, and while the game is technically a part of the B/R Sports add-on, that’s currently included with Max at no extra cost. You don’t need to do anything special with your subscription, either. It’s just there.

Not only will you be able to watch the national championship, but you can also watch any NBA game that is televised on TNT or TBS. And with the playoffs right around the corner, that makes this the perfect time to snag a month or two of Max.

For another cheap option, you can check out Sling TV . Though it doesn’t include a free trial, the “Sling Orange” channel package is currently on sale for just $20 for your first month (and then up to $40 per month thereafter).

This, of course, includes TBS for tonight’s national championship, but if you’re also interested in NBA, it comes with TNT, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3 (which simulcasts games on ABC), as well. If you then add the “Sports Extra” add-on for another $11 per month to get NBA TV, you have every channel you’ll need to watch every NBA playoff game. This is by far the cheapest way to get all of that.

A virtual private network (VPN) can mask your IP address (thus hiding your location) and connect you to a digital server in another country. This makes it look like you’re in that country, so you can watch US-only content (such as YouTube TV or any of the aforementioned streaming services) from Europe, or Germany-only content from Canada, or Spain-only content from the US, etc.

NordVPN is one of the most reliable VPN’s on the market, plus it doesn’t limit your bandwidth speeds (which is key if you’re planning on streaming live TV while using a VPN) and it’s just really easy to use.

Seeking to become the first ever 11 seed to advance to the national championship, NC State takes on Zach Edey and No. 1 seed Purdue today at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.

Either way, it's going to be the first title game in a very long time for someone, as Purdue hasn't been in a national final since 1969, while the Wolfpack haven't been there since their Cinderella run to a championship in 1983.

It all comes down to this, as Athletic Club and Mallorca clash in the 2024 Copa del Rey final at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville today.
