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.

i pray my homies win the battles they dont tell me about
Coming of age is appreciating your mom. Beautiful film.
so lovely ❤️ i have never lived a unique experience apparently
Character: “You’re cute for an Asian guy.”
THE ENTIRE THEATER COLLECTIVELY: “oh that’s not-“
THERES NO MORE ROOM IN THE CAR‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
it’s okay to kind of suck sometimes for a while actually!
i never realized how hard it was to grow up with a really cool and awesome older sister. wow. sending condolence texts to my brothers as we speak.
Painfully accurate (but also enormously compelling) depiction of what it was like to grow up in that bizzare intermediate of gen z and millennial— MySpace, Motion City Soundtrack, and the melancholy of teenhood in the late 2000s
all 13 year old boys know is youtube, be mean to they mom, and lie
sean wang is such a talent and joan chen is divine. mid-aughts online filmmaking wannabe skater boys of color with fraught relationships to our not-single-but-singlehandedly-raising-us mothers and 3-year age gap sisters rise up! our Lady Bird/Eighth Grade has come. Lady Board. Sk8th Grade. no– Sk8th Grade-y Board. yeah, that's clean.
“dude, you can have cancer AND be gay.”
I LOVE MOMS AND COMING OF AGE MOVIES SO MUCH
