Review of Sicko (2007) by Garrett ! — 31 Oct 2011
Sicko is a 2007 documentary by Michael Moore exploring the United States (as well as a few other countries).
Health care system as well as the ups & downs of health insurance. It also discovers real people's experiences, all mixed together with interviews about the corrupt system.
The direction seems very one-sided, I think they should have payed a bit more attention to the flip side of the argument, instead of filler to stuff we knew immediately after ten minutes. Moore has allot of sympathy/care, a very interesting film, examples of this are the touching personal stories from the people who are on the front line.
Sicko was made on a budget of approximately $9 million, and grossed $24.5 million theatrically in the United States, it was also was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
All-In-All 'Sicko' benefits from the filmmakers love for the subject, resulting in an intriguing, eye opening documentary.
