Synopsis
Sick of Myself (Syk pike, 2022) is a Norwegian dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli and starring Kristine Kujath Thorp.
Signe lives in Oslo with her boyfriend Thomas, a contemporary artist who has just cracked the gallery scene with sculptures made from stolen furniture. He's getting the profiles, the opening nights, the serious conversations. She's getting none of it. To reclaim attention inside Oslo's cultural milieu, Signe hatches a plan that starts small and spirals badly — involving an illegal Russian medication and a skin condition she actively makes worse.
Borgli refuses to soften Signe or ask the audience to like her, which is precisely what makes the film so uncomfortable to watch. It plays as horror-comedy in the best sense: the laughs come from recognition, not distance. Stream Sick of Myself (2022) online on iFILM.
