Communal Detective (2013)
The film is set in Moscow, nowadays. The center of events is the miraculously preserved world of a communal apartment – one of the last in our time. It remains almost the same order as it was decades ago – a corridor filled with things, disputes and sometimes squabbles between neighbors, the eternal dream of a separate apartment or at least an expansion of living space. But this is only at the beginning. With the advent of two new tenants, the relationship of neighbors changes, and the apartment itself becomes not just a communal apartment, but a real detective agency. But, everything is in order.

Reviews
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
