Best movie I've seen in a decade! Viola Davis is magic.

Dramatic/emotional film

brings mental illness and generational baggage and anger to the forefront

the entire movie was filmed in one setting.

An Oscar Winner Performance

So powerful and emotional!!! Viola Davis and Denzel amazing performance

Go see it for the acting!

Worth to see

great movie! a must see if you like introspective movies.

This movie sucked. It was so bad it didn't make any sense and was horrible

loved this movie!! ugh so well done.

It was a really good movie. It wasn't what I thought it would be about according to the trailer.

Perfectly acted. Deep. It'll seep into you in one way or another.

love.. love it

Don't waste your money it's not worth it

I enjoyed it! Great movie to end my Christmas day.

A Father's battle and A Women's battle

Academy worthy

love the movie

Denzel did way to much talking

AMAZING! I have to watch it 10 more times!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful

Viola Davis should win the Oscar for her performance.

Took to long to build but it was good

I went to sleep half way through

An Amazing movie; was very heartfelt and deep.

This is a movie that opens up truth behind many households and allows people to understand how your raised does have a major impact in not only your life, but also the kids life that you create as well. Love your woman especially one who sacrifies her own to hold you down b/c your life is her life.

No plot.

This movie has many messages and little something for everyone

will go see again

great movie, deep, emotional

award-winning

Denzel Washington did an amazing job directing loved every minute

This movie left me in tears , it was unbelievable, real life situation

I loved it! I may see it again!

A must see!!!

really long and has no point to it.

loved the talked of the movie

Was an amazing movie Oscar worthy!!!

it would be great? if the story was a little longer and dramatic

Fences was a great movie! Great performances by both Denzel Washington & Viola Davis! Loved it!

The cast was flawless.

Reminiscent of Raisin in the Sun.

Excellent movie and actors! A must to see in 2017!

Lots of stories - not a "baseball" movie like I was expecting

Phenomenal acting and film.

Loved it so much!!!

Very well rounded movie with a good cast.

The beginning was a little rocky, from a filmmaker standpoint, but it quickly found its stride and was an excellent rendition of an amazing play. A very real depiction of an African American family in blue collar America in the 50s and 60s.

absolutely awful! skip this movie

Yes, Fences suffers somewhat from the bare-bones transferal of the “action” from stage to screen but the material is so compelling that viewers can easily lose sight of the movie’s “play nature.”

James Berardinelli

ReelViews

Denzel Washington directed and stars in Fences, and he has translated every element of August Wilson’s play to the screen: A language that’s naturalistic yet gently poetic, a detailed sense of America at mid-century...drama that turns to melodrama at key points, characterizations that seethe and explode, the touch of the fantastic (or is it the supernatural?) that pervades most of Wilson’s stories.

Lawrence Toppman

Charlotte Observer

Fences is old-school Americana that's driven by dynamite performances all around, albeit a bit stuffy in nature.
