What does it mean to come of age when you’re caught between two worlds and two generations? That’s the central question driving Dìdi (弟弟), a poignant and vibrant 2024 film that dances between comedy, drama, and moments of quiet reflection. Set in the late 2000s, it follows a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy navigating the final weeks of summer before high school begins—a time of skateboarding, instant messenger drama, and the confusing push-and-pull of family expectations. With an authentic voice and a nostalgic soundtrack, this coming-of-age story explores identity, friendship, and the bittersweet ache of growing up. It captures the universal awkwardness of adolescence while painting a specific cultural portrait of immigrant family dynamics. Viewers will find themselves laughing one moment and deeply moved the next, as the film balances humor with heartfelt sincerity. Dìdi (弟弟) is a must-watch for anyone who remembers what it felt like to stand on the edge of something new, trying to figure out where—and who—you want to be.
