Dìdi (弟弟) Review: A Thoughtful Millenial Coming-of-Age Drama

Whether they like it or not, Dìdi speaks directly to Millennial audiences. Specifically: those who entered high school in the late 2000s and had to navigate the typical mood swings, voice cracks, and family dysfunction that came with being an American teenager in a post-9/11 world on the verge of digitalization. Facebook statuses were X posts before X became X (in fact, before Twitter was even Twitter), YouTube was an exciting blank canvas for young visual artists, and IMs were the first DMs. With skater chic and alt-rock flavors, the film drips with nostalgia for a time that was infuriatingly confusing but, in retrospect, also much simpler.
