New Movie: "Sicko" starring Michael Moore

"SICKO is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage."

Movie type: Documentary - This is another Michael Moore documentary where he argues for a cause: in this case, reforming the health care industry. Like his other films, he puts his points in a more viewer-friendly package than most documentaries, not to mention is blatant in its liberal politics.

Length: 1 hr. 56 min.
Reviews:
”Good The movie is well put together, if a little long (the sequences in Canada, England, and France could be shortened), but there's a good mix of humor and pathos. Sicko is flawed but effective.“ Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Good Professional gadfly Michael Moore's first film since the incendiary FAHRENHEIT 9/11 (2004) takes on the American health-care system and makes the enraging, bombastic case that it's sicker than any patient.” TV Guide Online
”Very Good ...the net effect of "Sicko's" penetrating and devastating inquiry into the way America takes care of its ill and dying is to transfer the anger to the audience rather than have Moore's own outrage spread all over his film.” Newsday
