It’s certainly a challenge to hit all the right notes for a coming-of-the-age film, but new films certainly have had issues in the past with folding in our new virtual-savvy lives; however Sean Wang’s feature directorial debut “Dìdi (弟弟)” manages this through inventive visuals and a great performance from the film’s teenage lead Izaac Wang. Set in the Bay Area during the late aughts, “Dìdi” follows its teenage protagonist, Chris, as he works through his growing pains as a child of immigrant parents

Using Los Angeles’s beautiful scenery, the film sees Thelma searching for the person who wronged her, all the while freaking her family out
