Our take
Dìdi is a summer-before-high-school story about a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy. Expect constant f-word language among kids, name-calling, kissing videos, and a hashish mention. The hero is 13. The language is not. Older teens and adults
Uplifting themes
A 13-year-old fumbles toward friends and a family that still shows up

Story (may spoil tone)
In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can't teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

Talk after watching
- Kids are cruel for status. What would you want your kid to do in that group chat?
- The film lets a 13-year-old swear like an adult. Did that feel true or just loud?
- Family is messy and still there. What did you want his mum to say out loud?
