The Next Best Picture Podcast – “Dìdi”

For this week’s second podcast review, Dan BayerDaniel HowatDanilo Castro, and I are reviewing the feature directorial debut from Academy Award-nominee Sean Wang, “Dìdi,” starring Izaac Wang, Joan Chen, Shirley Chen & Chang Li Hua. After making its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the independent Focus Features film went on to win the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Best Ensemble Cast and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. What did we think of this personal coming-of-age story of a 13-year-old Taiwanese-American kid going through adolescence? Tune in as we discuss the writing, performances, painfully cringeworthy and heartwarming bits of nostalgia, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
