Is victimhood truly a shortcut to status for the young and terminally online? In the absurdist universe of the black comedy, “Sick of Myself,” the answer is unequivocally yes.
: the source material is already so cartoonish and despicable that most attempts to mock it seem obvious to the point of being dull. Perhaps no screenwriter could have imagined a character as controversial as Jameela Jamil, the British actress who’s been vocal about her various afflictions, which have included shellfish allergies, celiac disease, mercury poisoning, partial deafness, and a history of run-ins with bees.
And yet, in spite of the reprehensible motivations that drive Signe throughout the movie, Borgli infuses the film with a dimension that asks us to sympathize with her. As she forges her path of fame and destruction, the film features sequences in which Signe fantasizes about the possibilities that her illness could bring her. She giddily imagines her own funeral, and envisions the crowd forming outside of an event held for the memoir that she eventually hopes to write about her disease.
