Critics Consensus

Where to Invade Next finds documentarian Michael Moore approaching progressive politics with renewed -- albeit unabashedly one-sided -- vigor.

The most salient point Moore makes in "Where to Invade Next" is that so many of the ideas explored in the doc are American, historically speaking.

Even documentaries need dramatic tension; this one is comprised solely of contented people being informed that their lives are tickety-boo. After a while, you can't take any Moore.

Observer (UK)

Moore's partisan and simplistic approach feels more like a big, fat insult to audience intelligence rather than an effective call to arms.

Moore's film is not anti-American. If anything it's pro-American, because it wants America to improve, to dream a better dream.

I enjoy Michael Moore documentaries, while they're always one sided they're always entertaining and somewhat informative. This one isn't nearly as confrontational as his usual documentaries are. He basically visits countries who are doing different things than the USA in regards to free education, nutrition in schools and prison systems. With visits to Germany, Tunisia, Italy and Portugal, to name a few. Much more idealistic in nature. Enjoyed this one.

Sorry, but I can't help but talk about my country with this documentary, even when it is not mentioned. Chile has been a sad and poor Yankee imitation for decades. In this documentary, the best of some nations are compared to the nefarious American system and it makes you nauseous. Whatever the context, whatever the year, Chile and its political class directly get a lot of sticks with this. A lot to learn and improve, but hopefully from the correct model. I can attest through direct experiences that much of what is exhibited in the documentary is true. Looking at this and remembering what I saw, you immediately think of your land and it is enormously sad. Many times I had that feeling being outside. Anyway. Let's hope that the new path that the country takes this year is the one that will give us the peace of mind that we have long deserved. Chileans can change for better.

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Moore surely exaggerates in some aspects, and shows a too much idealized vision of Europe (regrettably, there are some aspects which are too similar to the US, or they have been getting closer in the last years), but it points to great infravalorated problems, and helps to show an alternative to the lifestyle that capitalism wants to force us to accept.

The movie hits like a sledgehammer trough a wall. It helps raise awareness about so many topics, about capitalism and importance of questioning
