Driven by Michael Moore's sincere humanism, Sicko is a devastating, convincing, and very entertaining documentary about the state of America's health care.

Sicko is wildly comic while tearing apart the country's health care system. Nov 30, 2017 | Full Review…

There's plenty of grandstanding, most of it very funny. And in this instance, all that sizzle is selling the steak. Oct 18, 2008 | Full Review…

If other countries can provide their people with universal health care, why can't we? If we can't, who are we? Nov 8, 2007 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

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. Oct 26, 2007 | Rating: 3/5

A devastating exposure of America's iniquitous healthcare system, coolly marshalled and amusingly detailed by Moore. Oct 26, 2007 | Rating: 3/5 | 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. Oct 26, 2007 | Full Review…

For the most part, this is a more restrained Moore and the result is another solid documentary that cements Moore's status as a filmmaker capable of making an audience laugh and think at the same time. Nov 21, 2019 | Full Review…

The first line of attack exemplifies Moore at his maverick best... Less interesting or sustained are his rose-tinted views of European health service systems. Nov 3, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This is the essential ill that Sicko addresses, in an eruption that's the most unruly and uncategorizable part of the whole movie, and the most unmistakably heartfelt. You want the truth? Moore can handle the truth. Apr 12, 2018 | Full Review…

Sicko offers still plenty to get riled up about, but the firebrand ire of Fahrenheit 9/11 seems to have mellowed a little. Aug 22, 2017 | Full Review…

While Moore's sins aren't nearly as terrible or significant as those of the political system to which he stands opposed, his unabashed tendency to talk down to his audience is symptomatic of our culture of mediocrity. Jul 29, 2015 | Full Review…
