Dir Sean Wang | USA | 2024 | 94 mins | Rated 15 | English, Mandarin
In California in 2008, Chris is an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy about to start high school but struggling to meet the cultural expectations of an immigrant family while at the same time trying to fit in with his new friends. In the last month of summer, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery to learn what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

REVIEWS
“Izaac Wang’s reserved, undemonstrative performance is what sets the film’s non-sucrose tone.”
★★★★ Adrian Horton, The Guardian
“Didi, a semi-autobiographical tale… is insightful on racial self-loathing as well as bigotry.” ★★★★ Ed Potton, The Times
“It’s all the better for feeling so immediate. Dìdi is a memory with barely a scratch on it.” ★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent
“… it’s also a period piece that understands the flattening effect the internet has on teenagers in particular.”
Shirley Li, The Atlantic
