Critic Reviews of "The Fool (Durak)"
AV ClubSeptember 17, 2015The dialogue is broadly generalized, urgently on point, and bracing in its undisguised diagnostic fury. If you can accept its unabashed didacticism, The Fool plays crisply.
New York PostSeptember 16, 2015He may be saddled with an overly ironic title role, but Bystrov is terrific. His cowboy squint and dogged intelligence are enough to give you hope for Russia, although the movie certainly won't.
New York TimesSeptember 15, 2015"The Fool" wraps its Hobbesian vision of squalor around a fable worthy of Frank Capra, but twisted to suggest a cruel inversion of Capra's inspirational allegories of humble Everymen crusading for justice and democratic ideals.
Hollywood ReporterFebruary 03, 2015A distressing moral drama, gripping thriller and scathing sociopolitical portrait of Russia rolled into one.
VarietyFebruary 03, 2015Frank Capra would have approved of The Fool, a forceful Russian drama in which a lone plumber stands up to a corrupt system on behalf of the people living in a squalid apartment building.
Epoch TimesMay 20, 2016Director Bykov's long dark night of soul is completely engrossing and profoundly alarming.
Film Comment MagazineSeptember 18, 2015The Fool (Durak) feels like a realist counterpart to Andrei Zvyagintsev's Leviathan, more accessible as mainstream drama, and more pragmatically critical of a tainted system.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsSeptember 17, 2015The voice of the underdog finally finds a cinematic voice in corrupt, class-divided Russia.
Monsters and CriticsSeptember 15, 2015An expose' that rises above finger pointing to create a masterpiece of tension and suspense.
Slant MagazineSeptember 13, 2015It takes place entirely at night, and the dingy color palette, washed-out and intentionally drab, presents Russia as an almost alien landscape.
