Sick of Myself is intent on turning stomachs with its vicious satire of vanity in the time of social media, delivering a dark one-upping saga of egos gone awry.

Alison Willmore

New York Magazine/Vulture

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

David Stratton

The Australian

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Helen O'Hara

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

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.

Rated: 4/5

Taylor Baker

Drink in the Movies

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

Rated: 80/100

Deadline Hollywood Daily

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.

I started watching it like "ok, let's see what it is about", and it was a great surprise. Creative, different with a great message without a dramatic perspective.

Needs more Anders Danielsen Lee, more grounding in reality, and more depth. I loved the premise and themes and wanted to love the movie, but I just didn’t. It had a strong start and some gem moments, but tbh the whole skin disease plot is the type of ridiculous that is nonsense to me rather than funny, so I was just like…okay. Needed to look to masters like Ostlünd on making satire that is more believable and nuanced. However, it has some solid shots at performativeness, narcissism, and jealousy, and shows great examples of the things you do when you feel small and invisible. Also, everyone does a very good job of delivering. I believe they believe what they’re saying so seriously, despite it being silly (say that 10x fast!!). “No one WANTS to be a psychopath”

Yet another over-hyped Norwegian movie. We meet a a main character who is super narcissistic and doesn't feel joy for her friends success, caught in a toic relationship with no clear explanation for why she doesn't break up with him, and instead she starts drugging herself in order to get attention and sympathy. Only to discover that the real world doesn't have much sympathy to offer. And to be frank, why should it offer it to the main character? She doesn't have any likeable qualities at all, and even resorts to animal cruelty in order to get some attention on herself because she can't stand the fact that she's just a regular person.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

It started out pretty well but just got more and more strange. This lady had major mental issues and always wanted to get all the attention. I'd never want to watch it again.
