	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Jalil Lespert makes his best film (...) there is just enough emotional insight to compensate for the lack of narrative fireworks in the last half-hour"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"This polite film, though touching in places, is so desperate not to offend, it's the film equivalent of sensible shoes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"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"	NEG
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"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."	NEU
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Rather than do something freshly cinematic with Saint Laurent’s precise, elegant creations, the film is content to exhibit them. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
