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.

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. Jun 19, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | 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. May 20, 2014 | Full Review…

Trying to figure out Isabelle keeps the viewer engaged, and Vacth's focused acting justifies her being almost continually in the frame. May 15, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

In many respects, Isabelle's sexual odyssey is less about the money she procures or some sub-Freudian power game, but more about the simple matter of discovering her agency. Nov 24, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In any case, Young & Beautiful is more interesting once Isabelle's secret is out, when it's more about the way other people react to this prematurely jaded girl who seems to have stepped out of a Lorde song. Feb 16, 2018 | Full Review…

Francois Ozon's quiet sexual drama raises more questions than it answers.
Austin Trunick
Marine 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.
Super Reviewer
Unusually straightforward film from Ozon, but a gripping one with a nicely underplayed central performance.
Ozon 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.
