| Movie MezzanineAnna TatarskaIf Laurent's designs were like Lespert's film, the audience would never be watching a movie about his life today. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere are numerous questions left unanswered at the end of Yves Saint Laurent, which seems afraid to tackle its subject head-on, mixing vague professional triumphs and tests of skill with human weaknesses. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifforda shallow, cliched biopic treatment from...Jalil Lespert. Niney is incredibly well matched physically to Saint Laurent but it is Gallienne who creates the more memorable character here |
| San Francisco ChronicleMaghan McDowellUltimately, 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. And although the cadence might not be entirely original, the high-style results most certainly are. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonPierre Niney is outstanding as Saint Laurent. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis biopic of 'fashion's little prince' offers all the elegant precision of a fashion shoot - it's beautiful, and cold - but lacks a lot of necessary context. |
| The ListClaire SawersSews together both sides of the man: the fascinating, but chronically shy boy genius from French Algeria, and the moth-to-lightbulb hedonist who battled with self-doubt and self-destruction for most of his life. |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekJalil Lespert's Yves Saint Laurent tries to sweep the evanescent butterfly Yves into its net: The movie isn't enough, but it's something. |
| Battle Royale With CheeseRosalynn Try-HaneTherein lies the problem with the biopic, whilst beautifully shot with exquisite shots of Parisian and Moroccan interiors, clothes and wonderful soundtrack it feels all very carefully managed. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirDirected by Jalil Lespert, the film has a peculiar voiceover from Bergé, and eventually peters out in a mess of petty jealousies, drugs and illness. |
