Total Film by

For dance fans this is a fascinating study of the time, effort and logistics that go into a big production.

40

Empire by David Parkinson

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

Variety by Nick Schager

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

40

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.

Village Voice by Serena Donadoni

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.

The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden

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.
