In Sean Wang's first feature film, Dìdi Lookmovie, a Taiwanese-American adolescent negotiating the complications of identity in the 2000s, offers a moving look at adolescence. With a skillful blending of plot storytelling and documentary reality, the film's cinematography elevates personal moments that profoundly connect with viewers, especially when Joan Chen and Izaac Wang provide outstanding performances. It is a groundbreaking work of contemporary coming-of-age film, with a remarkable awareness of comedy and emotional depth. Wang's direction captures the complex issues of growing up while also offering a clear portrait of a culturally distinct experience.
