L'Envolée

Unfussy in its premise and anchored by two impassioned breakout performances, Perfect 10 is an astutely written debut that celebrates a young woman’s resilience in the face of grief.

...the film’s main asset is impressive newcomer Box: veering between bratty backchat and bruised reticence, she’s tossed on unpredictable tides of teenage emotions.

What an emotional, satisfying film this is – and a whopping oversized calling card for everyone involved.

Built around a combination of pop music and Terence Dunn’s score, which feel like a stepping stone into Leigh’s world of gymnastics, this is a mature exploration of the hardships of youth that speaks from the heart.
