Fences doesn't translate to film as well as you expect. All the performances are spot on and I understand all the praise they have gotten but the film they are in gets a little too long and the dialogue gets a little to excessive. If Denzel wins Best Actor and Viola Davis wins Best Supporting Actress then it would be totally deserved. They carry the film and the film would be quite dull without them.

Why is it when Denzel is in a movie he NEVER disappoints. He is in a league of his own. Viola is quickly becoming the same.

Good performances aren't holy. They can't mend to a cliché, long, boring story. My vote is only sustained by Viola Davis, who was outstandingly good. Not her fault the rest... simply isn't there.

I really love Denzel Washington but i didnt like this movie at all, im sure people will tell me all the reasons why they think its great well good for you, but i got bored to death by it. Long takes nothing really happening all talk, totally not a movie that Denzel Washington is known for. Might be on me expecting an interesting movie.

"Some people build fences to keep people out, and other people build fences to keep people in".

'Fences' is what I call an "actors movie". Great acting all round, good story, and a easy straight forward narrative. Other than that, it falls flat. Denzel directing is bland and the film has a lot of More

**Trying to be a good husband and father!**

It took nearly a decade for Denzel to direct another film and this time it sailed through the Oscars with four nominations and one won out of it. Yeah, it was Viola Davis, who snatched the most prestigious award for her supporting actress role. Original More
