The Irish TimesTara BradyApr 21, 2023
Writer-director Kristoffer Borgli’s pitch-black comedy makes merry with malignant narcissism and the worried well. Read full review

Time OutBianca O'NeillAug 10, 2022
Sick of Myself is, for all the dark themes and unsettling imagery, deeply watchable – a perfectly executed black comedy accompanied by humorously viscious counter-culture commentary that cannot be overlooked. Read full review

The PlaylistKevin JagernauthMay 28, 2022
The filmmaker’s tart and scabrously funny (both literally and figuratively) sophomore feature is a pointed portrait of a toxic relationship and a razor-sharp evisceration of those warped by a victim mentality. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleApr 14, 2023
As the satire retains its acridness to the very end, Sick of Myself proves itself well-aware that narcissists don’t learn lessons — they learn how to adapt. Read full review

Paste MagazineKatarina DocalovichNov 29, 2022
Sick of Myself reminds us to question the ulterior motive and points out the inherent narcissistic intent behind the urge to “tell your story,” both within ourselves and in others. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanMay 28, 2022
The sly pleasure of Sick of Myself is that Signe’s narcissism differs from the rest of ours more in degree than kind. Her impulses are as uproarious as they are repulsive not because they’re so hard to understand, but because on some level, we can understand them all too well. Read full review

Film ThreatSumner ForbesApr 13, 2023
Dark and uncomfortably funny, this work showcases a filmmaker acutely aware of the nuances of modern society. Read full review

The New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaApr 13, 2023
Each time we think Signe has hit her breaking point, she perseveres. It’s deadpan funny at first, but then gets disturbing. Her refusal to give up the act proves to be more sickening than her physical symptoms. Read full review

Screen DailyAmber WilkinsonMay 28, 2022
If Sick of Myself runs out of narrative road towards the end, there’s still a decent quotient of dark humour along the way. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerApr 25, 2023
If it wasn't for Thorp, this would be intolerable, but as Signe she creates a fascinatingly off-putting character study of a menace to society. There's no redemptive third act here, yet she still creates a rounded depiction of a singularly minded bully. Read full review

IndieWireElla KempMay 28, 2022
Death rarely fades from view in Borgli’s increasingly bleak comedy, which does somewhat of a disservice to the narrative trajectory — not because it flirts with oblivion but because its path is so stratospheric and dogged in the direction it’s going that it can be pretty hard to hold on for your life and not get left behind.

Sick of Myself works as well as it does due to Kujath Thorp’s charismatic performance. Read full review

Little White LiesDavid JenkinsApr 20, 2023
It offers a spitefully funny takedown of a culture which sees no differences between the acts of soul-bearing and self-abasement, and just when you think Borgli couldn’t twist the knife any further, he does just that. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenApr 10, 2023
Kristoffer Borgli is unduly proud of himself for concocting his unlikable protagonists, and he marinates in their repulsive self-absorption. Read full review
