Michael Moore is back ... beardless this time (revealing, shockingly, that he has no chin). A few random review across the political spectrum:

Rick Lowry: "The only reason to fantasize about Cuban health care is to stick a finger in the eye of the Yanquis. For the likes of Michael Moore, the true glory of Cuba is less its health care than the fact that it is an enemy of the United States. That's why romanticizing Cuban medicine isn't just folly, but itself qualifies as a kind of sickness."

The Cannes contingent: "Sicko has been rapturously received by audiences and critics at Cannes, where it is screening out of competition. Moore's last film, the President Bush-bashing documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, won the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or, in 2004."

The Gray Lady contingent: "He’s still the P. T. Barnum of activist cinema."

The intellectuals at EW: "there's a certain robust clarity of political activism in this latest salvo from media provocateur Michael Moore that marks a new maturity."
