Winner of the Audience Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival

In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

Served as a refreshing antidote to all of those youth-patronizing movies in which kids are portrayed as hyper-confident quip machines… Mr. Wang’s honest self-appraisal yields a richly detailed film.

Wall Street Journal

Easily one of the best, most seamless films I’ve seen on the experience of growing up online.
