De la Gauche à la Droite en passant par le centre, la presse britannique est unanime sur ce Roméo et Juliette à la chorégraphie contestée. The Independant suit la même ligne que ses confrères :
| Citation: |
| Poklitaru's choreography is a grey abstraction, heavily influenced by Mats Ek. He avoids naturalistic gesture, but dance steps too. The women are off pointe, and there are few outright dance numbers. The corps rock from side to side, thrust their hips or sink to the floor. The lovers twitch like frogs, run in circles or laugh aloud |
L'article de Zoe Anderson
Dans un autre papier, Z. Anderson a néanmoins également apprécié Maria Alexandrova :
| Citation: |
| Donnellan has cut and rearranged Prokofiev's score, and the Bolshoi's own orchestra, conducted by Pavel Klinichev, manages to maintain momentum. The company do look alert. Maria Alexandrova dances with more attack as Juliet than she showed as the heroine of Don Quixote. |

Oh, Romeo, wherefore?
The Bolshoi's crude new take on the star-crossed lovers is, at best, unusual
Jann Parry

The Observer
| Citation: |
| When Juliet first meets Romeo in the ballroom, she spreads her legs, skirt rucked up over her face; in their wedding night pas de deux, she nuzzles his bare chest before standing on it; he kisses her foot in an ecstasy of lust. Yet because this is regarded as modern dance, few dare laugh or boo. All credit to Maria Alexandrova as Juliet and Denis Savin as Romeo for compelling us to suspend our disbelief. She is brattish, appealing, headstrong; he, still downy, quivers with intensity. Both invest the silly things they are given to do with such passion that I could kill the choreographer on their behalf. |

The Times
By Debra Craine
Romeo and Juliet
Covent Garden
| Citation: |
| Poklitaru’s cartoony style, a watered-down cross between Mats Ek and Angelin Preljocaj, is banal and meaningless, tacky and irritating, gawky and naive, and apparently suffering from a disorder of the central nervous system. The corps de ballet clump about like crabs with an itchy crotch; the lovers’ bedroom duet is a disaster of foot fondling and sheet hugging. The dancers battle heroically through the indignity of Poklitaru’s ineptitude, especially Maria Alexandrova, whose self-assertive, trouser-wearing Juliet manages to rise above the mess to find an ounce of human warmth in a cold production. Praise, too, to Denis Savin’s Romeo, a sweet young man forced into the gauchest choreography. The terrific sound from the pit is at odds with the action on stage, which seems to disregard every musical cue Prokofiev gave. Brave new world for the Bolshoi? More like a dead duck — and a missed opportunity. |

Dance: That sinking feeling
David Dougill fails to fall in love with the Bolshoi’s Romeo and Juliet
| Citation: |
| Maria Alexandrova and Denis Savin dance the couple with searing commitment and raw power. I could wish that Poklitaru didn’t overuse a motif of shivering, twitching and dithering at moments of crisis, and their contorted grapplings in the bedroom duet — she pumping her foot on his abdomen, or bicycling her legs in the air — verge on the ludicrous. Other characters are sketchy, though vigorously deployed. Yuri Klevtsov has fun as Mercutio, got up in drag as Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot to attract the advances of a deluded Tybalt (wiry Denis Medvedev). Ilze Liepa’s glamorous Lady Capulet wears bright green with an extravagant hat. I found this Romeo and Juliet an up-and-down ride, but it won a big reception on Monday, and the company danced all-out in a new challenge that they clearly relished. |
