Canada, 1972. Dominic, 22 years old, has a fetish... for himself. Nothing turns him on more than his reflection, with much of his time spent taking Polaroid selfies. When his loving grandmother dies, he discovers a deep family secret: his lesbian mother didn't die in childbirth and he has a twin brother, Daniel, raised in a remote monastery by a depraved priest. The power of destiny brings back together the two beautiful, identical brothers, who, after being reunited with their mother Beatrice, are soon embroiled in a strange web of sex, revenge and redemption.

Observer (UK)

The film is a bit too self-involved to be much fun for anyone else.

Rated: 2/5

Saint-Narcisse is a welcome blast of subversive naughtiness, proving that a film can tackle social taboos while refusing to brand itself with facile markers of respectability.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Bruce La Bruce‘s Saint-Narcisse, a one-of-a-kind gem of a movie (...) that’s supposed to be about a young man who is in love with his own image but is really about what it means to be a human being in the 2020s.

Rated: 4.5/5

Gayly Dreadful

Uncomfortable and unconventional, yet bursting with surprising heart and humor, Saint-Narcisse feels like a culmination of the themes La Bruce has explored throughout his career.

Rated: 4/5

The word I would use for this movie is "fresh". There is a lot of weight into a story that builds itself as the movie progresses, until it ends up with a clearly formed thematic idea. And it does it while letting the viewer enjoy incredibly well-crafted scenes and scenery.

Delightfully subversive. Saint-Narcisse brings together a fantastic cast, a nicely-paced and smart script, and skillful direction/cinematography. The result is an entertaining, sexy, and poignant film that rises well above its peers. Félix-Antoine Duval brings breathtaking talent and presence to put an icing on this delicious cake of a film.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
