I won't lie, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Spoilers...the disrespect he had for his mom had my jaw ticking. like bro couldn't be nice to his mom for a minute of his existence. and even if the story revolves around him I absolutely loved her. peer pressure had him in a choke hold the entire time.

Sean Wang's directorial debut presents a profoundly emotional coming-of-age drama, and it is evident that "Didi" rightfully earned the audience award at Sundance Film Festival. The portrayal of Chris Wang (Isaac Wang)-endearingly referred to as Didi by his mother yet mockingly labeled Wang Wang by his peers-offers a refreshing perspective on the tumultuous transition from adolescence to teenage years. The protagonist grapples with confusion, often attributing his perceived failures to those around him: his older sister Vivian (Shirley Chen), who initially serves as an antagonist until she recognizes his profound sense of isolation; his overbearing mother, Chungsing (Joan Chen), an aspiring artist facing criticism from her demanding mother-in-law and rebellious children while her husband remains absent in Taiwan; and his classmates, who simply regard him as peculiar. Chris seeks validation from a group of older skaters and his so-called friends at school, yet each interaction only highlights the inadequacies he feels within himself. The chemistry presented between mother and son in this film is strikingly authentic. "Didi" gains additional strength whenever the focus shifts to Chen, who conveys subtle nuances of hurt and frustration without ever overacting. It requires a remarkable actress to deliver a monologue that may seem familiar from countless other films, such as her heartfelt conversation with Chris, while ensuring it does not come across as clichéd or predictable. Joan Chen masterfully executes this delicate balance, creating a compelling dynamic with her younger, yet equally talented co-star Izaac Wang. Their performances are exceptional and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended!

I was the same age as Chris in the time this movie was set in. I found it very relatable. A good kid but sorely misunderstood. Just trying to find a place in the world, fit in, be liked. This film isn't for everyone. Not everyone was 13 growing up at the boom of social media. Moral of the story is growing up can be REALLY hard and nobody loves you more than your mom. Check this movie out if you're in the mood for a good coming of age film. It really did feel like it was set in 2008 which made my viewing experience a lot better. Really appreciated the attention to detail, computers, cars, music, vibe was there.
