Critics Consensus: A well-intentioned but frustratingly diffuse biopic, Saint Laurent proves an ironically poor fit for a look at the life of a fashion icon.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Rather than a hagiography, Bonello confronts his subject’s personhood without dwelling on his genius, leaving viewers with no clear sense of how one should feel about Yves Saint Laurent. That’s part of what makes the film so exceptional.

A striking proposal (the YSL collections are appreciated in all their splendor) and only at times fascinating... [Full review in Spanish]

Saint Laurent, a vibrant, buzzy biopic of the visionary French designer, plays like an extended high fashion ad campaign, prioritizing corporeal movement aided and abetted by shiny textures, music, and distant gazes.

A lot of the film resembles those trashy fall-from-grace rock 'n' roll biopics where the rock star gets lost in a whirlwind of sex and drugs, but Ulliel elevates the material by accentuating Saint Laurent's more sinister, predatory side.

Just as Bonello's anachronisms blithely cross disparate eras, so Saint Laurent gainsaid the passage of time.
