Sick of Myself

This movie, about a woman who hatches a vicious plan to reclaim her rightfully deserved attention, is quite a unique story with interesting content, and is definitely something different. I think it was smart to add some humor here and there, which made the movie very alive. Narcissism is the core theme here, and the brutality was almost frighteningly strange. The crazy thing about this is that there are actually people out there doing the same kind of action like in this movie. A very interesting topic! I think the camera and the lightning work wasn't to good, which made it sometimes feel like a homemade movie, but at the same time, I think the script and the editing was great. Also, time and reality were well used. Recommending for those who wants to experience something different!

I watched the entire movie speechless, I had to watch 2 episodes of "bake-off, the professionals" right after to smell the flowers... I do not agree with some reviews here which empathize with what they describe as a human who wants to be seen and recognized. To me, this is all about attention-obsession and the lack of basic morality and self-respect - everyone else is to a degree victim, but not the 2 lead characters in this movie.

The impact it has on the viewer makes the movie successful, and I recognize it is bold and courageous also because it touches the subject of the superficiality of social media and diversity models (although I find the hint of humor in the blind-assistant scenes not acceptable). Technically, the acting was good (convincing and natural a lot), the plot is keeping you engaged from start to finish, and it was well worth the time (and money if applicable) somebody spends to see it.

I recommend watching this movie either alone or with people who are equally willing to sit and watch carefully and discuss it afterwards. Its not a light Saturday night movie to "enjoy with friends" while ordering pizza and beers.

This is very uncomfortable viewing for any human being who has ever been ignored and wants to be seen and recognized; so probably most in the 7 billion + will be triggered here out of humanity :]

• It truly is a comedy which shows flaws and unbalances in couples and also in society at large
• It makes fun of The Art World The World of Fashion; it makes fun of TV programs Newspapers The Realm of The Internet; nothing is left out ...
• It is clever funny disturbing but not too much of either of these 3; it also has that odd Scandinavian detachment which probably Scandinavians do not perceive and non-Scandinavians do not comprehend.

• I thought that it would be too serious but then the humour started to seep in and out like the main character's face at times; the acting was adequate but not striking
• Is it a comedy; a social commentary; a horror tale? A bit of all of those in a bright nicely furnished story

• Watch it for yourself and decide ...

I didn't expect it to be THIS good. There's a lot of film talent in Scandinavia lately. If you're reading this and the combo "drama, comedy, horror" sounds appealing you can't go wrong with this one (I recommend watching it alone). It does those three genres well with great timing. It's funny, it's horrific, it's devastating and beautiful. A lot of films - most of them really - nail the beginning and then fall apart, or resort to generic formulas for the ending, but a good ending makes it all worth it, gives meaning to the whole thing, I believe it's the most crucial part of a film.

This is really great stuff, a descent into madness presented with intelligence, sensitivy and style, it's up there close to heavy weights like Cronenberg's The Fly or Polanski's Repulsion; and Kristine Kujath Thorp is outstanding, without her there is no film. Besides, she is absolutely gorgeous. This deserves much more attention (ha!).

There's a girl who likes to exceed expectations, just to grab, grasp, claw, pluck, seize, the world's attention, a girl whose boundaries are so wide, it's hard to even give a guide, as she smashes, crashes, bashes her foundations.

Original for sure, as Signe, superbly performed by Kristine Kujath Thorp, captures the eye, refocuses your gaze, turns your head at an angle and distracts with dismay, all for the sake of the brainwashing world so many have come to be seduced, deceived and ensnared by, and the rewards it invariably fails to deliver, as the clock tik toks and the masses fail to take stock, lock and flock.
