The film is the third installment in the ''Center Stage'' film series, following the 2000 film '' Center Stage'' and its sequel, '' Center Stage: Turn It Up''. '' Variety'' critic Sonia Saraiya found ''Center Stage: On Pointe'' wholly inferior to the original ''Center Stage'', though she complimented Lutz's direction, noting "...though it is frustrating that the film feels like 15-odd low-budget music videos strung together, the dance in those segments, and the way it's filmed, are some of the best parts of the movie."


''Superfly''

In 2018, Lutz directed '' Superfly'', a remake of the 1972
blaxploitation Blaxploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s. The term, a portmanteau of the words "black" and "exploitation", was coined in August 1972 by Junius Griffin, the president ...

wrote: "Shot in a functional, slammed-together manner that's less sensually stylish than you'd expect from a music-video auteur, the film is a competent yet glossy and hermetic street-hustle drug thriller, less a new urban myth than a lavishly concocted episode. It holds your attention yet leaves you with nothing."
