Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Fences displays some of the finest acting I've ever seen in a film. Denzel is greatly supported by the rest of the cast loved all of the actors. I want denzel to direct more films. He should have won his 3rd oscar but lost to a pervert aka cassey affleck

They say this movie is based on a play...so I was focused on the dialogue. The dialogue was good. Overall it was a good movie if you are prepared for it. By that I mean that if you expect an action movie you will be dissapointed. This is a drama that puts some light on the relationships within a black family. Personally, as a black person raised in a black family, I felt interested by the story.

What a movie! Brilliant casting, amazing filming, a few scenes are maybe a tiny too long but it is undoubtedly a great great great movie.

During the entire movie I was thinking that Fences should be a play instead of a movie. Most of the time I read the reviews on here after watching the movie, and so did I with this movie, and that's only then that I realized that it used to be a play before becoming a movie. I'm not surprised because the movie is basically people talking whole the time. You never get a minute of rest, it's all about Denzel Washington ranting and raving about everything and nothing. It sometimes feels like a monologue with sporadic comments of the rest of the cast. Denzel Washington's character isn't the most pleasant man to listen to so at one point it gets a bit boring. As far as Viola Davis winning an Oscar for best performance by an actress in a supporting role I wouldn't go that far. Don't get me wrong she's a good actress but this movie is just not Oscar material, at least not to me. But then again over the years I saw alot of movies that in my eyes didn't deserve Oscars, so it might be me with my bad taste. All in all the movie is okay to watch once, but I will certainly not watch it a second time.
