Review of Fences (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 26 Dec 2016
A faithful theater-to-screen adaptation that, refreshingly, doesn't feel stagey (as often happens with such translations). Superb performances by the excellent ensemble cast (especially Viola Davis and Denzel Washington) bring the characters to life and captivate viewers from start to finish.
Despite a slight tendency to drag a bit in a few spots, the film tells its story well, with deft humor, heartfelt emotion and riveting drama.
