About This Movie

Numéro 10 offers a raw glimpse into the life of AWA, a young French woman of Senegalese descent. The film's atmosphere is both intimate and reflective, exploring the intersection of culture, ambition, and the often-underestimated world of women's football. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with AWA's internal struggles and societal pressures. There’s a certain authenticity in the performances, especially in how AWA navigates her dual identity in a world that doesn't fully embrace her. The practical effects are minimal, yet the realness of the football scenes hits hard, adding to the grounded feel of her journey. It’s this blend of personal and social commentary that makes it distinctive, steering clear of cliché narratives.
