During the summer holidays, Maks (16) and his older sister Emma (19) are sent to the Polish countryside to care for their ailing grandmother. Trapped together in the heavy, stifling isolation of the summer heat, the siblings' bond begins to shift into something unsettling and difficult to define. As tensions rise and boundaries begin to blur, their grandmother's frail presence takes on an increasingly disturbing quality, turning a once-idyllic summer into a haunting passage into adulthood.

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Oct 2, 2026
Yet Sick feels anemic because there’s no diagnosis, no real attempt to bind the narrative together for a purpose. Go to Full Review Matt Donato Daily Dead 6 days ago
3.5/5
Sick is a sweaty, simmering, and sublimely fearless feature debut for Trzebuchowska ... Beautiful for all the wrong reasons: a wallop of an ending that eats at you from the inside out. Go to Full Review Vannah Taylor MovieJawn Oct 2, 2026
SICK is as beautiful as it is uncomfortable. It is as familiar as it is strange. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Sep 30, 2026
4/5
Whilst it’s thematically concerned with the blurring of boundaries, its own shifting structure and blending of genres contributes to the underlying unease. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Sep 27, 2026
While "Sick" does live up to its title by putting a pit in your stomach, Trzebuchowska shows she has a gift when it’s impossible to look away. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside Sep 24, 2026
3.5/5
You never quite know whether to be disgusted or titillated. Through those squinted eyes, though, you may find a sort of loveliness about this otherwise very unsettling film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
