Rating: B+ --
The 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.

Frank 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.

Bykov's script and direction are flawless in this sequence, as with each passing moment the severity of the situation ramps up the intensity.

The Fool unfolds with a powerful, if appalling, logic.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
He 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.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
Director Bykov's long dark night of soul is completely engrossing and profoundly alarming.

Rating: 3/4 --
It takes place entirely at night, and the dingy color palette, washed-out and intentionally drab, presents Russia as an almost alien landscape.

Product Description:
A plumber takes on a corrupt, convoluted web of local politicians on behalf of hundreds of local residents in this earnest underdog drama directed by Yuri Bykov. After an attempt to fix a communal dormitory's burst pipe reveals much more significant structural damage, Dima (Artyom Bystrov) attempts to gain an audience with politicians including the mayor and the police chief, as well as his boss, who is harboring a dark secret.
