Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Though the screenplay, based on Laurence Benaim’s biography, is all build-up and no payoff, there is just enough emotional insight to compensate for the lack of narrative fireworks in the last half-hour.

|
Empire -
As elegant as the man's clothes, this handsome biopic traces 20 incident-filled years in the life of the designer.
|
|
Total Film -
Jalil Lespert’s film treats its hero with a high seriousness that not even Niney’s uncanny portrayal of YSL’s artistry and mental fragility can justify.
|
|
The Telegraph -
Rather than do something freshly cinematic with Saint Laurent’s precise, elegant creations, the film is content to exhibit them.
|
|
CineVue -
With Yves Saint Laurent, Lespert has played it safe but stylish, and pulls it off thanks to some canny casting choices and a refreshing focus on mainstream appeal.
