Dìdi Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin Ward2 de julio de 2025Incredibly authentic feeling coming of age drama about a young asian adolescent getting ready to start high school. He falls out with his close friends group and starts testing out new waters for what identity he takes with him into his high school years. He pursues his crush and F̶a̶c̶e̶b̶o̶o̶k̶/Myspace stalks her, takes on skateboarding and filming, and generally just tries whatever he can to be liked. At the same time, he has an adversarial relationship with his sister who is leaving for college soon and a mother that he largely disregards, seemingly wishing she didn’t exist or at the very least, would just leave him alone. There’s a so much relatable about his journey. There’s plenty of humor and loads of cringe. But with all of his failed attempts at redefining himself, he defines himself….and maybe realizes his mom and his sister aren’t so bad after all.

- rg94001 de noviembre de 2024Didi perfectly captures the feeling of being on the cusp of high school during 2008. It matches up with when I was entering high school, and I was impressed at how much Sean Wang was able to capture, whether it was the technology at the time, the slang, or my own personal experiences of growing up as a second-generation immigrant with social anxiety. The movie begins with a very lighthearted tone with plenty of humor, but it becomes a lot more somber as it goes along. Even though it is centered around the autobiographical story of the director via the main character Chris, it also manages to explore the relationships between other members of his family in the background. In particular, I thought Joan Chen as his mother did a fantastic job, and I found her character to be my favorite. It's a sweet movie that just plops the viewer down into this summer as it unfolds. Whether Sean Wang is showing the way his characters use the computer or the old-school filming of skateboarding, he is effortlessly able to capture the experience visually even if it isn't the flashiest cinematography. I just wish the movie gave us a bit more with the ending because it felt a bit abrupt.
- The Gutter Monkey16 de octubre de 2024An effective enough coming-of-age film that (for better or worse) many of us can relate to (and cringe at). Like most of our real-life childhoods though, I'm not really sure it was worth making a feature film about.
- BigAbouAL9 de octubre de 2024Going in thinking it's Comedy, but definately not. Movie is good but go into it as a Drama.
