Yves Saint Laurent (15)

Biography, Drama

A look at the life of French designer Yves Saint Laurent from the beginning of his career in 1958 when he met his lover and business partner, Pierre Berge.


The critical consensus

The ‘official’ biopic of the couturier takes a glossy look at his fascinating, but tragic life.

****(*)Claire Sawers, The List, 13/03/2014

Hardcore fashionistas will doubtless flock to drool over the endless catwalk shows, packed with genuine YSL archive pieces.

***(*)(*)Kate Stables, Total Film, 17/03/2014

[Not] enough to sustain a feature-lenght biopic.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 20/03/2014

Verdict: Good-looking biopic.

***(*)(*)Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21/03/2014

Offers very few surprises. You'd do better to read his Wikipedia entry while glossing over a copy of French Vogue.
