[Klaus] Härö's effort is very low-key, matching its quiet, contemplative atmosphere to desaturated, cold-toned visuals.

Though the camera follows Endel closely, we never really get inside his head - or explore the fear, regret and uncertainty that must plague him.

Not awful, just uninspired.

Rating: 4/5 --
The true story of an Estonian sports hero offers a lovely twist on a familiar tale. A cinematic triumph from a nation that's been missing from the global film stage.

[A]n effective mix of underdog sports drama and political thriller, inspired by the true-life story of celebrated fencing champ Endel Nelis.

It's the kids, as charming and scrappy a bunch as you'd find anywhere, who give The Fencer its winning edge.

Salt Lake Tribune
Although somewhat boxed in by its own physical beauty, The Fencer is so uniformly well-crafted, it should be shown in film schools as a model of technical artists operating at the highest level.

Product Description:
While on the run from Soviet forces in the 1950s, Endel Nelis (Mart Avandi) begins a fencing club for the children in the small town in Estonia where he settles. Despite opposition from the school's principal (Hendrik Toompere Sr.), he pushes forward and earns the respect of his pupils and their families as he brings joy to their lives. But when the children enter a fencing competition in the Soviet Union, Endel realizes that helping them achieve their full potential could expose him to danger. Directed by Klaus Härö.
