Perfect 10

About This Movie

Perfect 10 is quite a somber watch; it dives into the life of Leigh, a young gymnast whose world is pretty small and a bit bleak. The atmosphere is heavily tinted with loneliness, especially in her interactions with her father—who’s really not present in her life. The arrival of her half-brother shakes things up, bringing both a sense of hope and confusion. The pacing moves at a thoughtful rate, allowing the weight of her struggles to settle in. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and authentic, capturing that blend of youthful ambition and despair. You can see elements of gymnastics woven into the narrative, but it’s really about her personal journey and the relationships that shape her. A real piece that lingers in your mind.
