“Sicko” Could Have Used an EditorPaul Hogarthbyline‚ Jul. 06‚ 2007I love Michael Moore. He’s incredibly sharp, clever, and funny in his biting critique of American politics, culture and society. He’s one of these rare commentators who can make you laugh and think at the same time, and progressives are very lucky to have him on their side. I’ve seen all of his movies at least once, have heard him speak twice, and own all three of his books. But when I saw his latest film – “Sicko,” a documentary about the private health insurance industry – on opening night, I have to say that I was disappointed. Simply put, “Sicko” doesn’t hold a candle to Moore’s prior movies, which is sad because I know that he is capable of doing a lot better. |
