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.

2/5

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

3/5

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.

4.5/5

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.

4/5

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.
