I saw this at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and I enjoyed it a lot (I was definitely biased due to the fact that I was also 13 years old in 2008 and Asian). I'm looking forward to seeing it again in theaters soon.
I watched it tonight at a limited viewing because most theatres are not screening it in Vancouver (BC, Canada) despite having such a huge East-Asian population here. It was a beautiful film that capture such a universal experience shared amongst so many East Asian men in the West; often a neglected group of people whose coming of age story were never interested to Western audiences nor mainstream Hollywood. This was a script that doesn't box us into "Crazy Rich Asian" or stereotypical kung-fu superhero "Shang-Chi". Didi as a film allow us to be human beings with real lived experiences and unique nuances. Thank you Sean Wang!
Go Izaac! Auntie so proud of you! ❤
As someone who grew up in Fremont, it was so surreal to see it on the big screen!! Loved this :)
The weirder the better ❤ Class acts. 2008? It was an interesting time.
Proud of have they wrote the family. Beautiful.
Can’t wait until his next film.
I'm not one for Coming of Age films but the trailer for this movie looks interesting. I hope it does well in the box office.
Sooooo dope!!!!!
My boys ❤
I’m just thankful Philip didn’t try to make another romantic comedy
Really an average movie, was disappointed with the lame story, the actors are fab and loved the acting, the story writer disaster
You probably didn’t grow up as a teen or in your early twenties around 2008-09
I have to agree with you, I finally watched the movie yesterday and I honestly felt so disappointed in the story. Everything else was great the cinematography, the acting, but the story fell so short. I feel like Chris really didn’t develop much as a character and it felt like the movie ended the same way it started
@@blueberrynaya Chris understood that despite the differences between him and his mother, she genuinely has his best interest in mind and love him regardless of their differences. It was also a moment where his mother told him "how proud she was" of him; she tried her best to understand him and was able to express her true sentiment to her son. Such word of affirmation would have been universally relatable for many of us, something that has been missing in so many 1st-generation immigrant parent upbringing. I feel like that was a pretty big character development for both the protagonist and the mother.
