I Finally Streamed Didi, And I Was Not Expecting The Mother-Son Dynamic To Affect Me Like This


After several months of having Didi on the list of 2024 movies I needed to check out, I finally got around to watching Sean Wang’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story with my Peacock subscription. The movie, which follows Izaac Wang’s Chris “Didi” Wang as he navigates the confusing and complex summer between middle school and high school, hit me on so many different levels, but there was one dynamic that affected me the most.

The relationship between Didi and his mom, Chungsing Wang, played masterfully by Joan Chen, led to some of the film’s most emotional, heartwarming, hilarious, and intense scenes. After so many great father-son movies, it was great to find an excellent film about the bond shared by mother and son.
