In 2014, Sigurdsson gained recognition in Iceland with his short film Secrets & Lies, which received multiple awards and led to his early emergence within the Icelandic film industry. He subsequently became one of the youngest directors in Icelandic history to direct a feature film. Sigurdsson has since directed several feature films, including Cruelty, which achieved commercial success and was distributed on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and HBO. His work has been screened at international film festivals, including the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, Hamburg Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Göteborg Film Festival.

Personal life
Personal life
In 2023, Sigurðsson was found guilty of embezzling ticket sales from his 2016 film Cruelty', using pre-paid ticket sales to pay outstanding salaries and other outstanding production expenses when an Icelandic Film Center (KMI) post-production grant was heavily postponed. However, Sigurðsson's father and another producer were found to have been responsible for the ticket purchases and transfers of funds respectively, resulting in one charge being dismissed and Sigurðsson receiving a vacated sentence. Nevertheless, Sigurðsson stated that he was "naive" and "took full responsibility for the case."
