Ballet 422 is a record of the creative process of a young choreographer Justin Peck, just 26 years old, hired to create a new ballet for the winter season of the New York City Ballet in 2013. The New York City Ballet is considered one of the best companies in the world. Since 1990 he is led by Peter Martins, his Ballet Master in Chief. The documentary describes the intense backstage work that takes place during the process of creating and learning this new ballet: "Paz de la Jolla". It shows Peck working with his fellow dancers (Justin Peck is also a soloist at NYCB!), with musicians, lighting technicians, and costume designers in the composition of a new work, his third creation for the NYCB. It is the first time the New York City Ballet is exposed during the creation of a new a ballet.
Leave your thoughts about Ballet 422.
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesAside from the time constraint, there isn't much tension here, or much insight into the creative process. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderLipes' verite camera work is first rate, but his abilities as a storyteller are virtually non-existent. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpBallet 422 lacks the traditional hallmarks of most standard documentary films, eschewing talking head interviews and recurring streams of title cards crafted to hand-hold the audience through learning, and that's what makes it such a gem. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertFor arts, music and dance aficionados, "Ballet 422" is a documentary that will speak (and perhaps sing) to them. |
| The Film StageRaffi AsdourianWith its brisk pace and unique style, Ballet 422 is a cinematic gem that encapsulates the passion of two inspired artists, the one in front of the camera and the one behind it. |
| Spectrum CulturePat PaduaEssential viewing for dance fanatics, and perhaps less so for cinephiles. But anyone with even a minor interest in dance or any creative process will learn something about the hard work of the creative process from the film's modest observation. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIt's filled with delicious moments, particularly for dance fans ... |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonAt its core, "Ballet 422" addresses a universal theme: The importance of having a dream, and the courage and dedication to make it come true. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe result is a graceful sketch pad of a movie about how the strenuousness of creating art can sometimes yield riches that look light as a feather. |
| San Francisco ExaminerAnita KatzAs a performance procedural, the film contains necessary dramatic thrust and abounds with engrossing detail. |
