critics consensus
Ozon may not explore his themes as fully as he should, but Young & Beautiful poses enough intriguing questions -- and features a strong enough performance from Marine Vacth -- to compensate for its frustrations. Read critic reviews

Figuring out Isabelle's character is a compelling mystery, but it would have been nice for Ozon to offer a few more clues.

It became clear, as the movie wore on, that Ozon isn't interested in explanations, psychological insights, lessons, judgments, diagnoses, or any of the other stuff that normally preoccupies storytellers.

This is a different kind of coming-of-age story.
June 12, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Prostitution in polite society is still a nettle fearfully grasped. You see, society is not polite and it's about time movies stopped peddling that fluff.

Never amounts to anything more than its title's shallow descriptors.
May 16, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
Ozon keeps things simmering without quite boiling over, even when convention might demand it.

Oct 24, 2014Unusually straightforward film from Ozon, but a gripping one with a nicely underplayed central performance.Daniel P Super Reviewer

Nov 28, 2013Marine Vacht gives shape to an enigmatic character that remains fascinating during the whole time even if we don't understand what drives her to act and behave the way she does - which makes for engaging viewing despite the fact that she never opens up to us.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Sep 10, 2013Possibly the best one that I have seen so far from François Ozon (and I have seen almost all Ozon's films).William H Super Reviewer

Sep 03, 2013Ozon has produced another masterpiece. Although deeply troubling in its storyline, the characters leap off the screen and make a deep connection with you. It's challenging but worth taking in.John B Super Reviewer
