‘Sick of Myself’ | Decider

The 2022 Norwegian comedy-drama Sick of Myself is a gory, stomach-churning romp that might as well be a horror movie. Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, the movie follows young couple Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) and Thomas (Eirik Sæther), who have an unhealthy relationship. They are sickeningly competitive and narcissistic, and are always trying to one-up each other. As Thomas, a sculpture artist, begins to get attention from the art community and magazines, Signe decides to poison herself with an illegal drug from Russia, which causes her to develop a skin disease. After Signe makes headlines for her “bravery” in battling the condition and signs onto a major modeling company, she begins to spiral into madness over her fears of getting caught. The movie is a devious satire on social media obsession, and takes things to the extremest of extremes. Give this one a watch, but maybe not on a full stomach.
