**In “Sick of Myself,” directed by Kristoffer Borgli, we dive into a twisted tale of love, jealousy, and the lengths one might go to reclaim the spotlight. Set against the backdrop of Oslo’s vibrant art scene, Signe, portrayed by the remarkably talented Kristine Kujath Thorp, feels increasingly overshadowed by her boyfriend’s burgeoning success as a contemporary artist. While he garners attention for his audacious sculptures fashioned from stolen furniture, Signe grapples with her own growing resentment.
It’s like the classic story of the star and the sidekick, but in this case, it’s laced with a darkly comedic edge. The film cleverly plays with the themes of fame and the desperate need for validation.
