10s Across the Borders dives deep into the underground Ballroom culture that flourished in New York, and it’s fascinating to see how Sun, Teddy, and Xyza adapt this vibrant scene to Southeast Asia. The film has a raw, almost visceral tone; it’s not just about the glitz of the Balls but also the struggles of these communities against systemic issues like homophobia and discrimination. The pacing feels organic, reflecting the ebb and flow of real life—moments of joy are punctuated by stark realities. The performances are heartfelt, capturing the essence of resilience. It really stands out for its representation and the way it captures the spirit of a subculture that’s often overlooked. An enlightening watch for those interested in the intersection of identity and art.
