Sick of Myself

“I laughed a lot, then afterwards was reflective and standoffish for a short while” – Michael Cera

Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) is a stylish, insecure millennial working a dead-end job in Oslo, Norway. When her vapid artist boyfriend Thomas (Eirik Sæther) finds overnight success with sculptures made from stolen designer chairs, their already competitive relationship intensifies. With a compulsive drive to make herself the center of any situation, Signe orders an illegal Russian pharmaceutical online and embraces its disfiguring side effects.

A wickedly funny satire of toxic relationships and contemporary narcissism, Kristoffer Borgli’s Sick of Myself (Cannes, Un Certain Regard) is a razor-sharp “unromantic comedy” from the producers of The Worst Person in the World.
