Critic Reviews of "The Fencer"
VarietySeptember 29, 2016This well-acted, smoothly crafted drama tells a story of cross-generational bonding in the face of historical oppression, in touching if unsurprising fashion.
Hollywood ReporterSeptember 29, 2016The man and his motivations remain oddly elusive in this blankly heroic, clunkingly predictable portrait.
Chicago ReaderMarch 03, 2016An affecting portrait of a decent man who risks his life to uphold a bond of trust with his students. Though squarely in the tradition of Dead Poets Society and The Bad News Bears, the film offers higher stakes and, consequently, a bigger payoff.
Irish TimesDecember 27, 2016The historical context does add a unique texture to the familiar trajectory of Anna Heinamaa's sturdy screenplay, as does Tuomo Hutri's wintry photography.
Concrete PlaygroundNovember 30, 2016Don't discount the impact a predictable tale can have when it's couched in empathetic performances and built from small, intimate moments.
The AustralianNovember 29, 2016It's an assured piece of work and, as confidently directed by Klaus Haro, it intrigues for much of its length, building to a suspenseful climax.
Sydney Morning HeraldNovember 29, 2016It's an effective vehicle for exploring the troubled relationship between two countries, and that may be the point, at the expense of accuracy.
Herald Sun (Australia)November 29, 2016The alluring looks of The Fencer can be deceiving, as the groundwork for an ominous and intensely riveting final act is laid out.
ABC Radio (Australia)November 24, 2016I wish I'd known The Fencer was a true story before it began ... It would have made its sentimental and seemingly formulaic story feel much less on the nose.
Urban CinefileNovember 20, 2016Inspiration is the life-affirming theme of this charming story in which a fencer in Soviet occupied Estonia inspires the children he teaches to learn a new skill and face new challenges
