Consensus: Though some consider his political bent divisive, Michael Moore's humanism is pretty universal in this devastating, convincing, and very entertaining expose of America’s health care system. Moore's permissive to download Sicko paired with the film's activity-inspiring website made it a considerable accomplishment in grassroots activism.

Laughs are thin on the ground, but this is a must-see by a film-maker at the height of his powers. Full Review |

The body politic deserves a finer thermometer than Michael Moore's camera Full Review |

Michael Moore takes on the US health care system. His in your face style may annoy some people, but he lets you know he's in favor of socialized medicine and, to be fair, he wisely presents AMA spokespersons, doctors and others who claim put health care i Full Review |

For the first time, the targets of Moore's film need not fear the bearded, heavyset man; instead they should be worried about his audience. Full Review |

...primarily comes off as an uneven effort that's sporadically as superfluous as it is interesting... Full Review |

Moore's mere presence becomes politicizing, but this film attempts to make people realize the health of people in this country should have nothing to do with income and politics. Full Review |

While no rational person would believe Castro and Hillary are to be exalted, its medical horror stories are absolutely believable by anyone who's dealt with an HMO. Full Review |

Prepare to laugh (nervously), cry and be outraged. Full Review |

The film contains the usual Moore plusses and minuses, now familiar to anyone who's watched even one of his films. Full Review |

5/5 |
Otro contundente alegato de Michael Moore que (...) conmueve y entretiene en partes iguales, atrapando a lo largo de sus dos horas. Full Review |

If other countries can provide their people with universal health care, why can't we? If we can't, who are we? Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Moore has again made a film which, though basically sound in logic, sugars the pill in a way which seems suspect in its determination to suggest that, as far as healthcare is concerned, America is bad and everywhere else is good. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A devastating exposure of America's iniquitous healthcare system, coolly marshalled and amusingly detailed by Moore. Full Review |
||
|
|
Moore is rightly celebrated for his elaborately staged stunts and this film’s highlight, involving a boat-trip to Cuba, is as hilarious as it is disturbing. Full Review |

If Moore were a more radical polemicist, he might have focused squarely on this alarming social injustice, but, perhaps rightly, he sees a broader one. Even the insured are handing themselves over to a bewildering lottery. Full Review |
