Reuten was born in Bussum, Netherlands, the daughter of a Dutch father, Joost Reuten, and an Italian mother, who was born in Benabbio near Bagni di Lucca.[1] She studied acting at the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam. During the last year of her studies, she assumed leading roles in Dutch film and theatre productions. Early in her career, she won the Shooting Star Award of the Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival) for her portrayal of Lotte in the 2002 film Twin Sisters, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Subsequent roles included In Bruges with Colin Farrell, and The American alongside George Clooney. Other films include Tate's Voyage, Little Crumb, Rosenstrasse, and Everybody's Famous!, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

On stage, she has performed in Johan Simons' production Fall of the Gods at the Salzburg Festival and the Ruhr Triennial, as well as in Rufus Norris’ Blood Wedding at the Almeida Theatre in London, alongside Gael Garcia Bernal.
