Reset

[A] riveting documentary.

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 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.

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

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.
