"Sicko"...
...which is premiering tonight at the Academy is, simply, a snooze. Nothing takes, nothing riles the spirit. As a documentary it is muddied and as a "Michael Moore documentary," it is impotent.
I've been meaning to make these comments for weeks now, but somehow thought I could expand them into something a little more meaty. Alas, there is not much to say other than the above. The health care nightmare still deserves a valiant documentary. "Sicko" is not it.
