I think its slow paced with not allot going on but the characters are reasonable while also being massively flawed wich is a good thing.
Didi is a good film.
Also its set in the year that i was born AKA the year were i became more then a fetus
Dìdi (弟弟)
For anyone who's ever been a teenager.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, unhurried portrait of one transformative month that captures the particular ache and exhilaration of being thirteen. It's a film that finds profound meaning in skateboarding, first crushes, and learning to see your struggling parents as human.

Reviews
I'm obsessed with this, but I cried so much that my head hurts now.
I'm sure there are a thousand reviews already comparing this to Eighth Grade and Mid-90s, and they're all correct. Even though I had just finished college in 2008, the AIM scenes unlocked high school memories best left forgotten. Above all the nostalgia though, Didi is best at capturing that anxiety.
Then I cried a lot because I'm a mom to a fourteen year old boy. I'm going to go knock on his door and interrupt him gaming with his friends to make him hug me. 😭
