Didi Directed by Sean Wang Starring Izaac Wang, Joan Chen, Shirley Chen Rated R | Runtime 1 hour & 33 minutes 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. "The film itself is a welcome addition to the resonant contemporary American immigrant sagas like Minari and Past Lives. But one with a unique indie charm of its own." Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express "The performances are uniformly excellent. Joan Chen will break your heart as Didi’s under-appreciated mother who puts her dreams and needs on hold to rear two children who spend most of their time arguing with her." Scott Phillips Forbes "Served as a refreshing antidote to all of those youth-patronizing movies in which kids are portrayed as hyper-confident quip machines... Mr. Wang’s honest self-appraisal yields a richly detailed film." Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SANTA FE!
