Sick of Myself

The movie is a social commentary about how we always have to one up each other and can't seem to be happy for other people's success, not even your closest friends or your partner. Signe and Thomas are the perfect example for this, because since Thomas is becoming kind of a breakthrough artist, Signe feels like she doesn't get enough attention. So in order to get the attention back she takes some kind of drug which gives her a big rash on her skin. Now she gets the attention she always wanted and even becomes a model which is not to the amusement of Thomas who also wants the attention. I think this is a really important subject matter because especially young people are never satisfied with themselves and always just look at other more successful people and can't seem to enjoy themselves or what they have reached in life.

The movie has little to no horror at all, it's more of a social drama with tiny pieces of body horror from Signes rash. And even though drama movies are definitely not my favorite, this one was definitely able to set free emotions and even makes you empathize for Signe, which is weird because she is the crazy narcissist. Like I said, I really don't like these kind of movies very much but I think everybody involved did a really great job in this. [5,6/10]
