Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

proud_luddite U.S. Documentarian Michael Moore travels to nine different countries (eight of them in Europe) in order to "invade" them i.e. to "steal" the best of their social policies and bring them back to the U.S. The ironic conclusion is sad as well as fascinating.Throughout this travelogue, the viewer learns of superior national policies and lifestyles: worker benefits (Italy and Germany), gourmet-like school lunches and open sex education (France), education systems with no homework and concentration on each child's full well-being (Finland), free university tuition even for foreign students (Slovenia), the benefits of fully acknowledging a nation's horrific past (Germany), how the legalization of drugs was followed by reduced drug use (Portugal), prison systems where the prisoners are treated with humanity and trust (Norway), a religious Muslim country that fully supports women's rights including full access to abortion (Tunisia), and how women's participation in banking and political life improves the lot for all (Iceland).This is Moore's best film since "Bowling for Columbine" (2002). Since "Farenheit 911", he started to go over-the-top and become didactic. In this current film, the preaching is behind and what we see is more of his intelligence, humour, and great skills at unveiling the facts. He has a deep concern for his country and it shows.Some moments are memorable: juxtaposing sound bites of past U.S. presidents condemning other countries' "barbarisms" with visual footage of great domestic troubles in the U.S.; one of three Italian CEO siblings failing to understand why someone would want to be richer by giving their workers less money and benefits (she couldn't give up the good relations she had with her staff); the looks of the faces of an Italian couple when they hear that American workers have no guaranteed vacation compared to their minimum of six weeks; a Portuguese drug expert casually comparing drug addiction to other addictions: alcohol, sugar, caffeine, and.......Facebook; an articulate Tunisian woman showing her genuine surprise as to why so many people would watch "The Kardashians"; and mostly the interview with a Norwegian man who lost his son to the mass murders of 2011. He did not show the desire for vengeance as one might expect.This movie is not without flaws. It's a bit too long at two hours. It also seems to whitewash any of the problems faced by the nine nations. Its claim at the end that we need more women in power is noble to a degree and logical in certain contexts but maybe this principle works better in a socialist society like Iceland than it would in other countries. In the U.S. (as well as my country of Canada), high-ranking female politicians are just as prone to greed and corruption as their male counterparts. This may be so in other countries as well. There is also no mention of the long history of European countries' prejudice against the Roma minority.In the end, this is still a fine documentary and it's great to see Moore back in his best form again.

gmerczel I gave this film 3 stars for the laughs it evoked. But to view this as a serious documentary is ludicrous. While there were a few legitimate points made in this film, there is no where on earth that is Nirvana. Try exercising free speech in Great Britain or Germany. Hunting in France?...Only if you're rich, and you have to rent the gun from the Government. Every point in this film can have holes poked through it. For example: the first couple he interviewed was a police officer and a buyer for a major retailer. Both high powered (relatively) jobs. How do couples that both work high pay jobs, with no kids, live in the US? Police officers in the US are unionized...High pay, lots of vacation time, and great benefits, plus retirement with full pay and benefits...Can Italy say that? The only difference is that in the US if you have no ambition and are lazy you go nowhere. As it should be. Thanks for reading my rant.

ss124-661-382111 This movie is pure propaganda. Moore has taken one little segment from each of these countries and expanded upon it. In France are we given to understand that all the Schools in that country serve gourmet meals ? Hogwash. In Italy are all the companies giving their employees eight weeks vacation ?? I'm sure Fiat doesn't. 21 years for murdering more than 50 people, mostly children. Absurd. Does he want the US to change to that form of injustice ?? Then he shows his dementia, when coming out of a meeting with the president of SLOVENIA he refers to it as SLOVAKIA.

Jan This is a review of the documentary ''Where to Invade Next'' (2015), by Michael Moore. This review will contain spoilers. In the documentary Moore ''invades'' some different countries in Europe. Here he shows things those countries has successfully brought in to their society, things he believe the U.S needs to improve in. He asks people how and why they are doing it this way, then he ''conquer'' these ideas and brings them back to America. In the end he reveal that all these ideas are from the beginning from USA and the European countries has just borrowed them from the U.S. The arguments that Michael Moore presents is according to me biased. He only shows the positive sides of the European countries and also leave out important information, not all that he says is true. Everyone hasn't 8 weeks of paid vacation in Italy and not all schools in France has great food, but this things strengthens Moore 's arguments and that's why he puts them in the film anyway. Of course he wants to deliver a message to the audience, he believe that the United States have some issues they need to work with and for all I know he might be right. But for me, the problem in this movie isn't whether or not he is right, but how he convince the audience of it. It is in my opinion not right to present a misleading picture of both the European countries and of the U.S. The people needs to have an honest chance to choose what to believe and then they must know the truth. To summarize, I think that this documentary is biased and Michael Moore isn't showing the whole truth. If you want to see this documentary you need to be critical to Moore's arguments. This isn't a documentary, it is propaganda. I wouldn't recommend this movie because it can give you a wrong and misleading picture of the world.
