Roger Ebert: „There are scenes in ‘Sick’ that forced me to look away. But the scenes I did watch were, if anything, more painful. At the end, as Bob fights for breath and Sheree weeps and cares for him, what we are seeing is a couple who had something, however bizarre, that gave them the roles they preferred, and mutual reassurance. Now death is taking it all away.“ In: Chicago Sun-Times, 5. Dezember 1997,rogerebert.suntimes.com

Edward Guthmann: „‘Sick’ does a remarkable thing in presenting extreme, sometimes revolting material and simultaneously making us like and admire Flanagan. True, he was a madman and exhibitionist; but he was also a gifted writer who was committed to taking risks, confronting death and living life on his own terms.“ In: San Francisco Chronicle, 7. November 1997, S. C–14, sfgate.com
