Sicko will scare people, and it probably should.
91
Infuriating and funny, the film forges a disturbing diagram from the avarice and chaos of a slapdash, heartless system.

Sicko is likely Moore's most important, most impressive, most provocative film, and it's different from his others in significant ways.

Michael Moore intelligently, comically and incisively diagnoses and calls for the treatment of a sick U.S. health care system.
89
Though we will differ on the methods of improving the American health care system, Sicko's enduring contribution is the undeniable evidence that the system is broken. If the film brings the debate out into the open of our movie lobbies and living rooms, it can’t be long before the conversation trickles into the corridors of Congress.

Moore's most assured, least antagonistic and potentially most important film.
88
In a summer of dumb, shameless drivel, Moore delivers a movie of robust mind and heart. You'll laugh till it hurts.

Highly entertaining and informative.

Sicko is Moore's best, most focused movie to date -- much more persuasive than the enraged and self-righteous "Fahrenheit 9/11."

I have only one complaint, and it is this: Every American should be as fortunate as I have been. As Moore makes clear in his film, some 50 million Americans have no insurance and no way to get it.
