A semi-biographical coming of age film set in Fremont, CA circa 2008.
Our tour guide for this ninth circle of teen-spirit hell is Chris, a Taiwanese-American 13-year-old who's navigating the rocky roads between the end of middle school and the beginning of high school. His mother, Chungsing, calls him "Dìdi," a Mandarin term of endearment meaning "little brother." His sister Vivian, who's about to head off to college, calls him more unpleasant names, some of which he's earned. Dad doesn't call him anything at all ‚Äî he's overseas working and is more or less AWOL from the family's life.
Sidestepping the usual sentimentality of the genre, manages to capture the fun and adventure of the early adolescents while also reminding us what a pain high schoolers can be.
Audience award winner at Sundance, Dídi is a crowd pleasure you will want to see with a crowd (so bring one eith you).
