Perfect 10, BBC iPlayer until December 6
If you missed this on its VoD release in summer, there's a chance to catch up with this strong debut from Eva Riley, which is showing as a series of first films on the BBC - which also has the equally watchable atmospheric psychodrama Make Up and Jehovah's Witness community-set drama Apostasy available to view on iPlayer at the moment. Teenage gymnast Frankie Box proves she's equally adept at acting as she vaults into the role of Leigh, a youngster whose mother has died and who is struggling to garner any attention from her grieving dad (William Ash).

Eva Riley’s debut feature is a dazzling coming-of-age tale lit up by a pair of remarkable first-time performances
Not quite a perfect 10. But still, Scottish director Eva Riley smashes it with her debut feature, a gritty and tender portrait of a teenage gymnast who meets her half-brother for the first time. It’s a drama in the social-realist tradition of Ken Loach and Andrea Arnold, with whom Riley shares an instinct for working with first-time actors. Her young stars – Frankie Box, a real-life gymnast, and Alfie Deegan, a trainee joiner – are naturals. Their real and raw performances give the film warmth and energy. It had me hooked from the opening scene.
Box is Leigh, a stroppy 14-year-old who lives outside Brighton. She isn’t the best gymnast on her squad, but she trains the hardest – though since her mum died a year or so ago, she’s lost her confidence on the mat.

To celebrate the release of Perfect 10, which opens on select streaming services this week, we sat down with the film’s writer/director and star about the moving new drama.
Set in Brighton, Perfect 10 tells the story of Leigh, a 14-year-old aspiring gymnast who is struggling to both find her place at the local gymnasiums and living with her neglectful father. Soon, her half-brother Joe (Alfie Deegan) shows up at her house one day to stay despite not knowing he even existed but who soon opens her eyes to the thrill and dangers of moped crime – and growing up.
Riley, making her feature debut, spoke to us about the film’s themes of finding your place at a young age and how influences can alter the course of your life in different ways as well as the challenges of making the film on location in just under a month.

For the third year, the UK’s three leading financiers, the BFI, BBC Films and Film4, in collaboration with the British Council and the UK government’s ‘Great’ campaign, will be showcasing up-and-coming UK talent in Cannes via the ‘Great 8’ program. Scroll down for the lineup.
Highlighted on Tuesday May 14 during a private reception at the Hotel Gray d’Albion, the event will reveal unseen footage from eight UK projects in post-production.
