Moore’s politics aside, his PR people deserve major props for Sicko. A Faux news interview. A ‘leaked’ film. Harvey’s ‘devastated.’ All before it even opens.
Though to your other point, documentaries in general have been enjoying a boom of sorts. Not sure if they've gotten better or if people are just more open to them or if they just provide a nice break from the usual Hollywood BS, but they've been getting much more play.
PS: Every time I see an L-shaped sheet on TV now, I laugh.
The quantity and quality has improved. Older docs though were closer to verité. Let the camera run, period. Now? Funky graphics, recreated events, celeb VOs.
