Synopsis

  • 'This is an expansive, rib-tickling, and subversive comedy in which the eccentric, left-wing, populist filmmaker Michael Moore, playing the role of 'invader,' visits a host of nations to learn how the U.S. could improve its own prospects'.
    In the opening voice-over, Moore gives a sarcastic introduction about him visiting the Pentagon in Washington DC and given the green light to 'invade' a series of countries authorized by the joint chiefs of staff. Moore leaves to 'invade' Europe to discuss the subjects which he most covers in his activist work which are worker benefits, school lunches, early education, college education, worker inclusion, decriminalized drugs, low recidivism, women's health care, and women inclusion.
    Italy
    Moore arrives and visits a factory where he discusses with the owner and various workers about labor rights and workers' well-being (paid holiday, thirteenth salary, parental leave, etc.). It ends with him in a person-to-person interview with Claudio Domenicali, the CEO of Ducati
    France
    Moore visits an elementary school where he talks with the students and teachers (via a translator) about various topics such as school meals and sex education and how the USA school system exploits the students in his country.
    Finland
    Moore discusses Finland's education policy (almost no homework, no standardized testing, etc.), as well as speaking with Krista Kiuru, the Finnish Minister of Education.
    Slovenia
    Moore visits a university where he discusses with the local and foreign students about the debt-free/tuition-free higher education system and about the political nature of that county's education. He has interviews with Ivan Svetlik, the University of Ljubljana's rector, and Borut Pahor, the President of Slovenia.
    Germany
    Moore visits two factories and business parks where he talks (through his German translator) with various other blue-collared workers about the country's labor rights and work life balance. He and his film crew visit the pencil making factory Faber-Castell, and discuss education about Nazi Germany.
    Portugal
    Moore arrives in Lisbon where he talks with some people as well as three city policemen about the country's May Day holiday for the workers, the lenient drug policy of Portugal, and the abolition of the county's death penalty.
    Norway
    Moore discusses Norway's humane prison system and comparing it with the harsh and overcrowded prison system in the USA. Moore visits the maximum-security Bastøy Prison and Halden Prison, and Norway's response to the July 22, 2011 Utøya attacks committed by the right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik.
    Tunisia
    Moore meets with some women activists to discuss the evolution of women's rights in the country, including reproductive health, access to abortion and their role in the Tunisian Revolution and the drafting of the new Tunisian Constitution of 2014.
    Iceland
    Moore discusses the theme of women in power, speaking with Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the world's first democratically elected female president of Iceland. He also meets with members of the Best Party with Jón Gnarr being elected Mayor of Reykjavík City. Also discussed are the 2008-2011 Icelandic financial crisis and the criminal investigation and prosecution of bankers, with special prosecutor Ólafur Hauksson
    The Fall of the Berlin Wall.
    In the final scene, Moore travels back to Germany to Berlin where he points out that many of these ideas actually originated in the U.S.A., such as the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment, abolition of the death penalty, the struggle for the 8-hour workday and the May Day holiday, the Equal Rights Movement for women, prosecution of financial fraud during the savings and loan crisis, etc. He discusses the fall of the Berlin Wall as hope for not only Germany but the rest of the world. The film ends with a film clip of the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz' where he explains that the solution to the problems America is faced with is always in plain sight as with Dorothy who learns that she always had the power to travel back home to Kansas with her magical red shoes.

Reviewed by Martin Liebman, April 27, 2016
Contrary to its suggestive title, Where to Invade Next isn't about U.S. foreign policy and the seemingly constant wartime footing the nation has found itself on since World War II, and in the post-9/11 era in particular. No, controversial Director Michael Moore's (Capitalism: A Love Story) latest feature is about his attempt to import domestic policy ideas from abroad to the U.S, masquerading as a one-man 'invasion force' in the quest to bring change to his homeland. Moore vacations, er, travels predominantly through Europe and Iceland (with a quick stop in Tunisia for good measure) with an eye out for social constructs that differ from, and improve on, their counterpart systems in the United States, focusing largely on labor and education but hitting a few more highlights, including women's rights, drug laws, and so forth. Moore doesn't hide his progressive-minded agenda and takes a seriously one-sided, slanted, and unbalanced look at the way things work abroad and domestically, but the film works well enough in his established style and preaching-to-the-choir context.

In Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore travels through Europe in search of little bits and pieces of social and political systems that, when cobbled together, could make the United States the land he's always wanted it to be. He begins in Italy where he discovers that workers enjoy plenty of paid vacation time, long lunches, and an unstressed workforce. He heads west to France where he learns that school lunches are served to a much higher standard than what kids consume in the United States. His crisscross journey through Europe continues with a stop in Slovenia (not Slovakia) where higher education is free. In Germany, like in Italy, workers are treated to shorter hours, higher pay, and more free pampering than they receive in the U.S. He heads to Europe's west coast, Portugal, where drug use is not prohibited and prisons are not overflowing with minority drug offenders. He stops by Norway for a look at that country's unique prison system and subsequently travels south to Tunisia where the government champions women's rights by way of funding health clinics and abortions. Finally, he visits Iceland, the first nation in the world to democratically elect a female as president. There, he looks at how that's empowered women all over the country.
Moore's political travelogue essentially amounts to various Europeans (for the most part) espousing their way of life and appearing stunned when they learn that the United States doesn't follow suit. Whether that's in regard to school cafeteria foods, work hours and paid leave, prison stays, or educational standards, the movie follows the same simple formula, in what amounts to a collection shorts, as it maneuvers through Moore's journey to discover why the United States sucks and why (and how) Europe does things much better. Moore doesn't dig all that deeply; he offers snapshot visions of utopia where every public school child receives a Sidwell Friends lunch, where workers are paid to get pampered at a spa, where only the inmates have the key to their 'cells' and a trip to prison results in instant rehabilitation in a resort-like setting that more closely resembles an American upper middle class neighborhood than it does a prison. What Moore tries to accomplish in the film is to cobble together his best-case scenario utopian vision for America and show why a bit of French lunch here, Italian work hours there, and Norwegian prison systems would make America great again, or give her a future to believe in, or whatever.

And the movie is a fair bit entertaining in its task. Moore, love him or hate him, exudes a certain charisma and flashes an honest smile when other viewpoints align with with Moore-colored glasses. He seems genuine in his pursuit to make his country a better place, at least as it lines up with his own ideologies and perspectives, and he's constructed the movie -- which he wrote, produced, directed, and funded out-of-pocket -- in way that doesn't make it feel at all self-indulgent but rather a passion project that gives him the opportunity to present his vision for the country to his audience. But he presents a very one-sided vision. Opposing viewpoints are never heard and there's nary a problem to be found with any of the social and political constructs he champions or even a hesitation in any of his interviewees in their advocacy thereof. The movie is a two-hour paid commercial for progressive liberalism -- more taxes (though he claims taxes would, in a roundabout way, go down under his plan) and especially more government -- that he makes entertaining enough to watch, though with very little to balance things out. Then again, it's his movie, and certainly his prerogative to present his views in any way he sees fit. It's nice he lives in a country that allows him to do so.
