Being a teenager is tough! In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom. With Izaac Wang, Joan Chen, Shirley Chen, Chang Li Hua.

"Set in the early days of social media's takeover, Sean Wang's debut feature about a Taiwanese American kid growing up in the East Bay perfectly captures the emotional jumble of boyhood." (Observer)

"It's such a tender, funny, and honest portrait of being that most awkward of ages: thirteen." (NPR FilmWeek)

"It recreates the sensation of drowning in your own hormone-churned emotions so vividly that the film would be difficult to watch if its very existence didn’t serve as a kind of pressure valve." (Vulture)

"A wonderfully uncomfortable, deeply hilarious coming-of-age movie, the new film Didi plays like an extended and surprisingly welcome visit to the filmmaker’s childhood bedroom." (Globe and Mail)
