Yves Saint Laurent Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Stephan Lee
Scenes between YSL and rock-steady lover Pierre Berg (Guillaume Gallienne) spark, but the film stays too reverent to truly turn heads.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This glitzy biopic of the renowned French fashion designer doesn't offer much insight into its subject or milieu.
Chicago Sun-Times
Mary Houlihan
The film takes on a dour note as way too much time is spent on Saint Laurent's drunken antics. He comes across as sullen and not very likable. This may be true to the man, but what of his other side?
Arizona Republic
Penny Walker
A visually sumptuous - and perhaps languidly paced - tale that immerses the viewer in a deeply atmospheric world.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Alternately meek and tyrannical, repressed and Dionysian, Niney's Saint Laurent remains both empathetic and obscure.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
When he wasn't silent, Yves Saint Laurent could be cruel and selfish. He may have been a genius, but if he was at all likable, this movie doesn't show it.
Denver Post
Suzanne S. Brown
Much has been documented about Saint Laurent and Berg in films, books and exhibitions, but Yves Saint Laurent... attempts to show the personal side of the designer and his consort.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rob Nelson
Its tendency to tell rather than show seems ill-suited to a portrait of the man who brought haute couture to the masses.
San Francisco Chronicle
Maghan McDowell
Ultimately, the story of Yves Saint Laurent makes a compelling argument for fashion as art, and begs to answer the question if there is such a thing as innate taste.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Skillfully made ...
Artforum
Melissa Anderson
Like off-the-rack clothing, this study of a remarkable talent and relationship follows standard patterns.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Saint Laurent (played with uncanny accuracy by Pierre Niney) goes through nervous breakdowns, addictions and affairs with gold diggers, but remains a comparatively opaque personality.
AV Club
David Ehrlich
Yves Saint Laurent epitomizes the mediocrity of a genre that often aspires to secondhand storytelling instead of first-rate art.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
A tasteful and formulaic biopic, visually lush but emotionally shallow.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Ultimately, this biopic seems far more interested in Saint Laurent's emotional passions, and the love story between him and Berg serves as the movie's core.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Mr. Lespert and his screenwriters tend to telegraph what's happening next with on-the-nose dialogue, leaving behind an orderly but not vividly realized biography (or necessarily a complete one).
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
Yves Saint Laurent gives us some idea of what it cost to be Yves Saint Laurent. But it also makes us feel for the guy who wasn't ashamed to leave his fingerprints on the money.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
What makes this film go astray are the problems that plague so many screen biographies: too much narration, too much telling and not enough showing, and presenting an artist's accomplishments in lieu of exploring his perspective.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Two transformative performances compensate for a screenplay with no real third act.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Clothes make the man, but can't save the film, in Yves Saint Laurent, in which the life of one of haute couture's great innovators gets disappointingly by-the-numbers treatment.
