Storyline

After the ferocious shotgun blast of a documentary that was Fahrenheit 9/11, one might well have wondered what Michael Moore would do for an encore. The surprise is that he has followed it with Sicko, a thoughtful, somewhat idealistic critique of the US healthcare system that uses few of his usual grandstanding stunts and rarely resorts to his trademark sarcasm. At two hours, it’s a little long and, initially, a little repetitive, with Moore evoking countless emergency-room nightmares that boil down to the same root of insurance company penny-pinching. After that, the European leg seems rosy by comparison, with Moore treating the National Health Service and its French counterpart as a sort of public health Shangri-La. But even those unphased by the differences cannot fail to be astonished by the extraordinary final 20 minutes, in which Moore takes ailing 9/11 heroes to Guantanamo Bay to get the care they must pay exorbitant prices for at home, but is given free to al-Qaeda suspects. His methods may be questionable, likewise his motives, but Moore certainly knows how to push buttons — his government’s and ours.
