It's perhaps the best movie Michael Moore has ever made"   PopMatters   Bill Gibron A "Moore's motion pictures are consistently hysterical, devastating, dynamic pieces of entertainment."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 "Moore's most sincere portrait of American life in the trenches since the groundbreaking Roger & Me."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin B+ "Michael Moore is an incurable optimist who believes in the ability of America's core values to come up to par and exceed other countries in the way our government takes care of its people."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Such coincidence grants Moore's film a narrative structure with a familiar political point: the crises facing regular citizens are connected, as well as ongoing."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs A- "Michael Moore takes on the American health care system with grit, determination, and - believe it or not - subdued arrogance."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3.5/4 "Michael Moore takes on U.S. Healthcare (or lack thereof) in this impassioned plea for change."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...primarily comes off as an uneven effort that's sporadically as superfluous as it is interesting..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A "Hard-hitting, informative, wise and engaging muckracking documentary."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Overly simplistic and not terribly hard-hitting, but worth recommending for the unflattering mirror it dares to place before the government in charge."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "Though the title of the film is an explicit reference to our health care system's sad state of affairs, it may also apply to anyone unable to relate to the struggles of everyday Americans who have to pay for overpriced and ineffectual medical coverage."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 5/5 "Otro contundente alegato de Michael Moore que (...) conmueve y entretiene en partes iguales, atrapando a lo largo de sus dos horas."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio C+ "Having been chided in the past for getting his facts wrong, this time he just doesn't present very many, preferring anecdotal evidence instead. The healthcare system needs medicine; all Moore has provided is a placebo."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Sicko may just represent the high point in a well-documented resume. If we're going to be charged thousands for film of our innards, what's another ten bucks?"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "Although one-sided, it's arguably a lot less problematic than the health system it asks viewers to cast a critical eye on and consider alternatives to. And very entertaining."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A blistering and convincing documentary designed to spur reform for a new system of universal health care."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B- "Far more egomaniacal than altruistic."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "Whatever anyone's feelings may be about Michael Moore, it's hard to disagree with his argument that health care in the United States is broken and needs to be fixed."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "even with its weaknesses, Sicko is, like all of Moore's other polemics, a compelling piece of work"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 9/10 "It takes some skill to present a topic most people might agree with you about already, and actually still be able to move your audience with your story."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 3/4 "Warning: watching Michael Moore's depressingly matter-of-fact dissection of the American health care system may have unpleasant side effects. It may make you sick."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3.5/5 "That the treatment of patients in America is shockingly inhuman in many cases is obvious, and Moore uncovers a huge number and variety of horror stories about it. Like much of his work, though, while the film will inspire plenty of discussion through its"   IGN Movies   Joe Utichi 8/10 "U-s-a! U-s-a!"   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick "This is a movie to see in a theater. It'a group experience. All through the show you'll hear people laughing, crying, muttering, cheering, sighing, swearing, and gasping. And at the end, chances are they'll be on their feet applauding."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 2/5 "he twists around the truth so messily, it's impossible to know what to believe and what to toss out as utter hogwash"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B "Michael Moore must be reading his own reviews."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "[Moore] takes on the American health-care system and makes the enraging, bombastic case that it's sicker than any patient."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Those with weak hearts and excitable temperaments should probably not be allowed to see the film"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Make no mistake: Sicko is an explicit call for revolution, and it is a profound and horrifying one."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/4 "The best thing I can say about Sicko is that it demands that you think and feel. You cannot view it passively. At every turn, the movie is challenging your perceptions and opinions on our nation's health care system."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "Presenting symptoms: queasiness, fever, hyperventilation, and mood swings. Diagnosis: You've just seen Michael Moore's latest film, "Sicko.""   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3.5/5 "Moore's very existence provokes irrational hatred on a level I haven't seen since Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik defeated The US Express at the first WrestleMania."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 4/5 "An engaging, extremely well shot and edited film that draws on humour and irony to stir simple outrage."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/5 "Who could be proud of a nation that treats its people this way?"   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves "Michael Moore's intentions have always struck me as honest and legitimate, even when his filmmaking practices do not."   Stranger Song   Rob Humanick B- "The target is simply too large and too obviously broken to keep the film from hitting home."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B+ "This is the best documentary of the year so far. This is Michael Moore at his one-sided, bombastic, pot-stirring best."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "Moore failed, with Farenheit 9/11, to keep George Bush from reelection in 2004. My wish is that he succeeds with his latest quest."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Unlike his other films, Moore finally starts to offer some sort of a solution that involves something other than marking an 'X' next to a name that doesn't say 'Bush'."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 4.5/5 "Moore does a damn fine job of bringing "hidden" information to light in a fast-paced and surprisingly entertaining fashion."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg B+ "With less lampooning and satirical asides, Sicko may be less "entertaining" than Moore's previous films, but it's also more affecting and effective."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "At the very least, he's raised a warning flag that shouldn't be ignored."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 10/10 "It's not a perfect movie but it will make you think - and the conversations you'll have afterwards are worth far more than the price of admission."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 8/10 "Sure, it makes some mistakes, but it got the job done. It's gotten Middle America talking about socialized healthcare."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 3.5/4 "A galvanizing, infuriating and sometimes heartbreaking look into the red tape-snarled morass of the American health care system."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 2/4 "The problem with Sicko isn't that it's wrong, it's that the messenger has become too much like the powers-that-be."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 91% Fresh Page   1
