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

3/5

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.

Sick of Myself is a stunningly raw and unapologetically savage work of satire that demands to be seen.

A biting look at a pair of manipulative narcissists, about as interesting as this sort of thing usually is.

Thee best take on ego/narcissistic behavior and at times hilariously hard to watch while at the same time you can’t not give it the attention it craves! My favorite film of the year! You absolutely MUST watch !

There are some very strange people on this planet, dangerous even. This shows us one in action. Blurred lines between truth and lies. Disturbing viewing.

I was a bit confused about certain aspects of it. And some scenes were a bit unnecessary such as the sex scene after Kristine's character come home from the hospital after taking a forgin drug that ruins her face among other things. It was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. Kind of enjoyable though. I think 3.5 stars is fair.

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”
