About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a provocative, humorous look at how other countries handle work, education, and social issues, especially if you liked Fahrenheit 11/9 or Capitalism: A Love Story; Not for you if you want a balanced, even-handed documentary.

Pros: funny, upbeat travelogue; eye-opening policy ideas; sparks debate | Cons: one-sided perspective; cherry-picked examples; occasionally manipulative moments
