Reception

[edit]

Beth Accomando of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Grand Jeté is definitely worth a watch if only for the commitment Stever and Grether make to the art they are creating."[3]

Carlos Aguilar of TheWrap also gave the film a positive review and wrote that it "deals with the transgression of the flesh but remains impartial to the actions of its characters, arguing that bodily pleasure and the outcome of said enjoyment don’t abide by the rules of morality."[2]

Wendy Ide of Screen International also gave the film a positive review, calling it "a charged portrait of a sexual relationship between an older woman and a young man."[1]
