Review

Intriguing and timely satire from the talented first-time Norwegian writer and director Kristoffer Borgli. Syk pike comments on and ridicules modern-day self-obsession, pathologizing and overreacting with a delightful off-hand brilliance. The picture has an arthouse origin but mainstream sensibilities, and this combo gives it an immediate, undeniable appeal. The talented Kristine Kujath Thorp creates a fabulously obnoxious lead character who reeks of entitlement and monomania – and who is sure to not leave you unscathed, so to speak. One of the best Norwegian films of 2022.
