Saint-Narcisse

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

Perfectly unhinged, twisted and explicit.

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.

"Saint-Narcisse" is a handsomely produced film with sincere performances, lush cinematography and a classical score.

In Saint-Narcisse, LaBruce simultaneously manages to foreshadow his major themes and suggest something about his main character's inner state.

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.

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.

A sinfully satisfying cinematic snack.

LaBruce seems a bit too in love with his own irreverence; the film isn’t as much fun as he appears to think. Still, it definitely has its moments.

Saint-Narcisse takes itself incredibly seriously, but there are times when it feels like what weve been presented is the set-up for a joke that the director is deliberately restraining himself from telling.
