Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
Bonello takes on the point of view of Saint Laurent himself, exposing a visionary world seen from within that is as strange and wonderful as that of a magnificently stitched garment turned inside out.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe
Fresh
Dreamy and impressionistic, full of debauchery, drugs, disco, and dazzling couture, Saint Laurent is a biopic that picks its moments, leaving backstory behind.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
The biopic captures a psychology and aesthetic in an exhilarating, sensual, cerebral fashion.
John Anderson, Newsday
Fresh
Evoking the era through period detail and occasional footage, director Bertrand Bonello has created a cautionary tale about the price of fame and celebrity.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
