Review of Where to Invade Next

This may be MM's best film to date and that's saying a lot because in my book, Bowling for Columbine was a masterpiece and Fahrenheit 911 not far behind. The segment reflecting on how Germany remembers its terrible past shines powerfully on a major deficiency in how the USA handles its own past; the segment on law enforcement in Portugal and incarceration in Norway challenges the failures of US practices of the same, and their insidious instigation of a new version of Jim Crow in southern states. As well, Moore adroitly punctures the myth of higher taxes in Western Europe. A large cheer erupted in the theater where I saw the film when Moore explained how Iceland convicted and sentenced the bankers whose malfeasance wreaked their nation's economy.
