You feel the pressure on the director and his troupe through the daily countdown, which seems, like all deadlines, to move at a faster pace as the day of reckoning approaches.

Joe Morgenstern

Wall Street Journal

Even as a profile of a singular artist, though, this soft-focus documentary is missing an essential dimension -- a critical look at the intramural conflict and public controversy that flowed from its hero's reformist role.

New York Times

Did the film make me want to see Mr. Millepied's ballet, "Clear, Loud, Bright, Forward," on the stage? Yes. And that's high praise.

Critic's Notebook

For the uninitiated, the film never truly articulates just how Mr. Millepied's criticism of the company's archaic traditions - which ultimately led to the fallout - could be perceived as arrogant, incendiary or disrespectful.

For anyone with an inherent interest in the arts, it's a fascinating look behind the curtain.

Go to Reset to see beautiful contemporary ballet and watch a creative genius do his thing... But if you're searching for drama, conflict, or simply the dirt on Millepied's short but influential reign, look elsewhere.
