I honestly don't know where to start with Linda, because it feels like a missed opportunity on almost every level. It's a film that had potential but somehow managed to squander all of it with weak writing, poor direction, and, worst of all, some of the most awkward and wooden acting I've seen in a while.
Let's talk about China Suárez. She delivers her lines with the enthusiasm of someone reading a grocery list. There's no emotion, depth, or real connection to the character she's playing. It's baffling to watch. Her performance is so stiff and lifeless that I couldn't care less about her journey. There's supposed to be this intense inner turmoil and transformation happening, but China Suárez just isn't selling it. She looks uncomfortable in every scene as if she doesn't even believe in the story herself. It's almost painful to watch her try to convey emotion when everything about her acting feels so forced and unconvincing.
The film itself doesn't help much. The plot is underdeveloped and predictable, with many awkward pacing issues that drag on without purpose. There's no real character growth, and Linda seems stuck in a loop of bland melodrama. The dialogue feels forced, and Suárez's lack of chemistry with the supporting cast only adds to the feeling that nobody cares about what's happening on screen.
On top of her flat performance, the direction is just uninspired. The cinematography does nothing to elevate the story, and the whole film feels like it's stuck in a limbo of mediocrity. There are moments where the film tries to hit emotional beats, but with China Suárez struggling to give any nuance to her character, the scenes come off as hollow and unearned.
I don't know what went wrong here. Maybe it's the script, maybe it's the direction, but China Suárez's performance is so lackluster that it drags the entire film down. If you're looking for a movie with heart, depth, or any semblance of good acting, Linda is not it.
Save your time and skip this one. It's one of those films you forget about as soon as it's over.
