‘Sick Of Myself’ Trailer: Kristoffer Borgli’s Cannes Film About A Toxic Relationship Arrives In April

Toxic relationships are terrible. There are no two ways about it. However, let’s just hope no one reading this ever experiences the toxicity seen in the new film, “Sick of Myself.”

As seen in the trailer for “Sick of Myself,” the film follows the story of a terrible relationship between Signe and Thomas. When Thomas earns a bit of fame as an artist, Signe decides to go a bit extreme to keep up, which leads to some really disastrous (and disturbing) consequences.

The film stars Kristine Kujath Thorp, Eirik Sæther, Fanny Vaager, Sarah Francesca Brænne, Fredrik Stenberg Ditlev-Simonsen, Steinar Klouman Hallert, Andrea Bræin Hovig, Henrik Mestad, and Anders Danielsen Lie. “Sick of Myself” is written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli. 

We saw the film as part of last year’s Cannes Film Festival, and in our review, we said, “The pleasure in watching ‘Sick of Myself’ is that it can bounce from a fun, meta cameo by ‘Worst’ heartthrob Anders Danielsen Lie to moments of near body-horror to stingingly witty exchanges without missing a beat. Borgli’s command of craft finds an equal and willing partner in a go-for-broke Thorp. It’s a pairing we hope to see again.”

“Sick of Myself” arrives in select theaters on April 12. You can watch the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis:

Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) and Thomas (Eirik Sæther) are in an unhealthy, competitive relationship that takes a vicious turn when Thomas suddenly breaks through as a contemporary artist. In response, Signe makes a desperate attempt to regain her status by creating a new persona hell-bent on attracting attention and sympathy.
