- [A] riveting documentary.
- 80Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThis is one documentary, as “La Danse” was before it, that is a thing of beauty in and of itself.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThough 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.
- 70Village VoiceSerena DonadoniVillage VoiceSerena DonadoniReset 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.
- Reset is remarkably undramatic – to both good and bad effect.
- For dance fans this is a fascinating study of the time, effort and logistics that go into a big production.
- 60Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfIt feels too flabby for the company it keeps.
- 50VarietyNick SchagerVarietyNick SchagerReset is so gorgeously shot that it almost distracts attention away from the sheer inertia of its material.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawNot 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.
- 40EmpireDavid ParkinsonEmpireDavid ParkinsonRuinously prioritising chic over content, this is intellectually and stylistically shallow when it should have been dynamic and compelling.
