BRIEF: Chicago Film Fest pick of the day: 'Where to Invade Next'

Oct. 28--Michael Moore's latest report card on American health, well-being and societal prioritizing is one of his most congenial efforts. The title makes it sound like a docu-screed against U.S. geopolitical blundering, but the invasions on view are more like ideological shopping trips, in which Moore travels to Italy, France (to sample the most delectable school lunches in existence), Germany (for a lesson in painful historical remembrance) and Norway (for an oddly optimistic post mortem on the 2011 summer camp massacre and its aftermath). "Where to Invade Next" was a late addition to this year's line-up; tonight's screening was added later still, due to popular as well as populist demand.

8 p.m. Wednesday, AMC River East 21, 322 E. Illinois St. Tickets $17-$20 at chicagofilmfestival.com. Running time: 1:50.
