This is one documentary, as “La Danse” was before it, that is a thing of beauty in and of itself.

Reset often seems like Demaizière and Teurlai's attempt to indoctrinate a new generation. Their glorious recruitment film espouses individual expression and athletic grace, while also pinpointing the limits of star power.

Though the film, which lapses at times into repetitiousness, could have been trimmer and sleeker, even non-aficionados will be swept up by its dynamic look at the creative process.

Reset becomes incrementally less interesting as the performance pulls together; although it’s a visual feast to watch dancers in slow-motion executing seemingly impossible moves, the directors can only go to that well so many times before it gets a bit dull.

Reset is remarkably undramatic – to both good and bad effect.

Reset is so gorgeously shot that it almost distracts attention away from the sheer inertia of its material.

Empire by David Parkinson

Ruinously prioritising chic over content, this is intellectually and stylistically shallow when it should have been dynamic and compelling.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

Not so much a documentary, more a sleek two-hour commercial for itself, Reset is a glossily produced non-look behind the scenes at the Paris Opera Ballet.
