It’s funny, in a horrifying sort of way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 11, 2024

Kristine Kujath Thorp lights up the screen as a self-destructive young woman in Sick of Myself, Kristoffer Borgli’s complex and incendiary black comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2024

A bitterly funny black comedy about narcissism and the paths people attempt to take to fame.

| Dec 9, 2023

Among the most engaging films with highly disagreeable characters throughout its runtime, Borgli uses Signe to illustrate narcissism in a compelling way that brings the other s----y side characters to life in ways that Östlund's films can only dream of

| Original Score: 80/100 | Nov 19, 2023

There's fun to be had from Signe's shameless narcissism, and her deluded fantasy scenes really lift the film when it gets a little stodgy. It's not quite enough, though, to justify spending 90 minutes in these people's company.

In this era in which social media and the cult of celebrity are prone to combine, the Norwegian film Sick of Myself makes a considerable impression.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 6, 2023

An absolutely merciless parasocial horror-satire in the vein of Ruben Östlund. But where Triangle of Sadness pulled its punches, Sick of Myself does not.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 6, 2023

Sick of Myself is a caustic mirror that recognises how empty people feel if not given a certain kind of validation. It’s a sick society and Borgli’s playfulness is ultimately revealing an aching contemporary need and the measures people will go be noticed

| Oct 6, 2023

In her extreme decisions, Signe, the young protagonist of this sharp satire written and directed by the Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli, only follows the trend of our narcissistic times. She is ver normal. Ok: "normal". [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 3, 2023

The rampant narcissism on display here is at turns hilarious and excruciating: Sick of Myself’s sharp social observation skills make it feel, in places, like a movie by cringe-master Ruben Östlund.

| Original Score: 7.7/10 | Sep 8, 2023

Sadly terrifying and often repulsive, Sick of Myself is not a film I'm likely ever to revisit but is well directed, acted, and observed; even if it takes that observation to a deliberately disturbing satirical degree.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 6, 2023

There are gags in the movie that feel short-sighted, placed to create a reaction rather than to amplify the project’s themes. But, for the most part, Sick of Myself is pretty entertaining and witty.

| Original Score: B | Jun 27, 2023

It may not be everybody’s cup of tea but one must admire the chutzpah of making a relentless movie about two awful people.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 8, 2023

A 95-minute-long insanity spiral and nihilist’s delight.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 16, 2023

A scathing critique of attention hounds and fame-seekers in the age of social media.

| Original Score: B+ | May 10, 2023

This pitch-black Norwegian comedy has insightful and important things to say about our attention-craving society, where everything is filtered through our narcissistic need to tell our story.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 10, 2023

Kristoffer Borgli’s film soon runs out of things to say.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 1, 2023

It's not subtle, but a committed performance from Thorp and some uncomfortable truths about the nature of self-promotion making this a thought-provoking satire.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2023

While not the easiest film to watch, Sick of Myself is an original story well told, and may make you think twice about why you’re putting up that braggy Instagram post (before doing it anyway).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 27, 2023

If it wasn't for [Kujath]Thorp, this would be intolerable, but as Signe she creates a fascinatingly off-putting character study of a menace to society.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2023
