Dìdi (弟弟) is a gorgeous, thoughtful, and hilarious coming-of-age story that is cringey in all the right ways. Set in 2008 in the Bay Area, Wang's semi-autobiographical film is a funny, irreverent, and affecting ode to first-generation teenagers navigating the joy and chaos of adolescence as seen through the lens of a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy, played by Izaac Wang (Good Boys, Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon).
At its premiere in competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival it received critical and audience acclaim, winning both the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award and the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Best Ensemble Cast. Rated R. 1h 34m.

This is an engaging and heartfelt exploration of adolescence, culture, and family that resonates long after the credits roll. A cinematic jewel to treasure." Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
