Sicko - Movie Reviews

What's it about: Last time, he documented post 9/11 America, now Michael Moore does an exposu00e9 on the US health system.

Shot in his trademark way, the film deals with how health officials are siphoning out millions of dollars under the pretext of health insurance.

Comparing the US health system to other European nations, Moore shows the flaws and loopholes that have gone undetected.u00a0


What's hot: Hate him, but you simply can't ignore Moore. Surprisingly with Sicko, he keeps the jingoism aside and gets to the real issue.
u00a0
Taking testimonials from people denied insurance, he raises a series of questions.
u00a0
Sicko has its fair share of traditional Moore humour. Be prepared to laugh and cry at the same time.
u00a0
What's not: It isn't a popular subject, so it might not catch your attention.
u00a0
But the issue of health care, governments being answerable to its people is universal.

At the end though, the project doesn't come across as precise and consistent.


What to do: If you loved Moore's earlier work, you'll want to watch Sicko. Easily, his sharpest work yet.
