Stuart Klawans Film Comment Magazine 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 Caryn James New York Times Sicko is wildly comic while tearing apart the country's health care system. Nov 30, 2017 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly If other countries can provide their people with universal health care, why can't we? If we can't, who are we? Rated: B+ Nov 8, 2007 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The filmmaker has the habit ... of never going to the root of a problem. The lack of depth and seriousness, the extreme limitations of his conceptions are enormously debilitating. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing In Sicko, Michael Moore's irreverent comedy has become less bleating and more purposeful, perhaps in part because the times we live in have become more desperate. Jan 29, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 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.

Munkhjargal A This movie turned out to be a very good movie. It has become a work that has been greatly enjoyed by the audience. I think that the work was born because of the director's poor thinking. It turned out to be a movie that I liked very much. I would like to thank the director and actors.
