To Love A Narcissist

TO LOVE A NARCISSIST is a toxic love story directed by BIFA-nominated director RAFFAELLO DEGRUTTOLA and starring LYNDSEY MARSHAL alongside him. The supporting cast includes acclaimed actors STEPHEN CAMPBELL MOORE and SULE RIMI.
 
Veteran Hollywood producer TED FIELD and actor-turned-filmmaker SADIE FROST are executive producers alongside BILL BOSSERT. Degruttola, SADIE KAYE and LEILA MOUSAVI are producers.​
 
TO LOVE A NARCISSIST was unveiled at Cinema Village, New York, on the closing night of SRFF 2025. The film was praised as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘profound’ by the Ariano International Film Festival 2025, where the film received its ITALIAN PREMIERE and director Raffaello Degruttola was awarded the Hirpus d’Oro for his contribution to Italian and international film. 
 
'Compelling and unique, TO LOVE A NARCISSIST stands up alongside million-dollar productions in the same genre.’

– Veteran Hollywood producer TED FIELD in VARIETY after boarding as Executive Producer

‘TO LOVE A NARCISSIST explores the thin line between love and deceit. The narrative follows Charlotte and Roberto, whose post-marriage relationship navigates from a dating app encounter to a complex dance of manipulation and vulnerability, ultimately questioning the authenticity of modern relationships.’

– Naman Ramachandran, VARIETY
