Entertaining and thought-provoking throughout.
| Original Score: B+ | Aug 10, 2021
Moore's film is not anti-American. If anything it's pro-American, because it wants America to improve, to dream a better dream.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2021
He is hopelessly tied to the Democratic Party and capitalist politics by a thousand strings.

Moore's fans will expect his brand of awe-shucks amazement, but for the first time in one of his documentaries it feels like a performance.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Looking at Where to Invade Next as a treatise more about feeling than specifics, however, it is much more successful and enjoyable than some of Moore's work.

May be blindly hopeful and knowingly neglectful of countless other issues both within the countries it looks at and and surrounding the policies in place, it remains a gloriously buoyant piece of filmmaking with a patriotic heart of gold.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 20, 2020
Michael Moore's approach here is almost essayistic, allowing [the] constituent parts to fluidly integrate into a broader assessment of international cultural progressivism.

For the first time since Roger & Me, I left a Michael Moore movie feeling inspired rather than doomed.

Moore may be preaching to the choir at this point, but at least he's still out there preaching.

[Michael] Moore is very engaging, and even playful, narrating his journey without being biting and a turn off. We found it to be a funny travelogue showing us how different life could be if we followed our own principles.

Where to Invade Next is a bit overlong and slightly overkill, but it is also fascinating and utterly depressing in a very profound way.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 9, 2019
All this is done with an impish, flag-waving sense of fun, even though Moore is making some hard-hitting points.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 7, 2019
Idealism is admirable, but Moore's simplification of the potential solutions to complex national crises is ultimately naive; challenging hegemonic infrastructure and national discourse requires a little more than a few nice ideas haphazardly presented.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2019
The information [Michael Moore] wants to present is made available without lapsing too far into moralizing, and the approach keeps things lively and entertaining
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 28, 2018
Hail to the chief of documentary makers, back in business again.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2018
Through humor and intellect, Moore conveys to his viewers that we have the answers, let's remember the questions so that we can address those issues appropriately. Be warned: you're going to laugh while you learn!
| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 22, 2018
It is thought provoking and raises questions it is just that Michael Moore doesn't answer any of them.

"Where to Invade Next" winds up having a great deal in common with the Hollywood schmaltz to which documentaries supposedly offer an alternative.

Where to Invade Next is worth a look, for its small revelations. I mean, even if you've heard that kids in French state schools eat better food than our kids, actually seeing them eat scallops in fish broth is one of the film's truly eloquent moments.
