I strongly recommend seeing Sicko not because it is a great film or even one of Michael Moore’s better films, but because it is such an important and timely film. Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine made for better theatre because they both possessed a stronger thread that held them together and pulled the viewer in emotionally. They were also, at the time of their release, more innovative. Sicko, while not as fresh stylistically or emotionally compelling is more important, personally relevant and timely than its predecessors.
The American public has long been fed a steady diet of misinformation as it relates to health care – ours and that of the rest of the "civilized world".
Love him or hate him – agree or disagree with his argument – he has certainly tackled one of the most important social issues of our time, and done it in a way that can be easily understood by the average American. If we don’t all put pressure on the system to act – then shame on us.
