In late-'50s Pittsburgh, middle-aged trashman and one-time Negro Leaguer Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) remained bitter that he never got his shot... and his lingering resentments might drive a wedge between him and the teenage son (Jovan Adepo) with a legitimate shot at a football scholarship. Washington directs and reprises his Tony-winning performance; August Wilson adapted his Pulitzer Prize-winning play for the screen. Viola Davis, Mykelti Williamson, Russell Hornsby, Saniyya Sidney also star. Review: Great movie - One of my favorite movies. I love the acting and the characters. I’m extremely happy with this purchase. It’s such a heartfelt drama. Review: Awesome movie - I watched this movie when it was originally released. And although it is outstanding, I didn't like it. I thought there was waaaay too much dialog and that it dragged on. Just watched it again and wow just wow. I still think Troy is a mean man. But boy do I get him. He was all about surviving for himself and his family. Given his childhood he wasn't taught any better. But he did the best he knew how and was a better parent then his. His drive, determination, even his wisdom reminds me of the hard working fathers of the 60s and 70s who were denied many opportunities but never threw in the towel and walked away or buried themselves in alcohol 24/7. My dad was a very kind man, but I see so much of him on Troy's character. Thank You Denzel for bringing this story to the big screen..

TWO OF AMERICA'S BEST ACTORS TOGETHER IN A TALE OF LOVE, DECEIT AND BETRAYAL
The first thing to say about FENCES is that stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis are national treasures. Here are two magnificent actors in a very American story. Troy and Rose appear to be a happily married couple living the working class dream. Troy is a garbage collector who is able to provide his family with a modest home and the basic necessities of life. Although they are African American, this is really a story that any lower middle class family could relate to. Hard work and love will provide. But as we see, everyone has a secret and Troy's will wreck his family and destroy his reality. Viola Davis provides another outstanding performance and the suffering wife. Although Denzel Washington is beginning to show his , his charm and talent are still as strong as ever. Davis and Washington together are a powerful. In fact, maybe looking older and weaker is part of Denzel's desire for perfection. FENCES is set in 1950's and 60's Pittsburgh in a lower middle class working class neighborhood. Those of us who are familiar with that area and era, can very much relate to the authenticity of the setting and of the general lifestyle. It's a remarkable film but heartbreaking and difficult to watch as Troy and Rose's lives fall apart because of Troy's secret. There is a big surprise and there is no turning back. It's a joy to watch Washington and Davis together. They make a sometimes difficult storyline shine with a hope that will never come. An amazing film

Bitterness Has A Face...
Ah, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. They played off of each other greatly. This movie transports you back to this time and place quickly without the backdrop being drab, still or dull. The neighborhood is very much alive. The kids playing in the streets, passersby along the side of the house as Troy and Bono take several swigs of liquor in the backyard. Troy Maxon is a bitter curmudgeon that once had big dreams of playing professional baseball. And is haunted by said dreams as well as his feelings about his brother Gabriel's head injury from the war that has left him with the mind of a child. Troy comes from the cloth of a man being a man. Who owns up to his responsibilities and and has little to no time to show love, affection or compassion to his wife and sons. Rose Maxon beautifully portrayed by Davis is his committed and dutiful wife who has long accepted her husband for who and what he is. Things come to a head one day where Troy and Rose square off as ugly truths are revealed. This is a film not to pass up. It makes you think as your eyes are locked on each character. There's not much scenery, but the words make up for it. This film is chock full with reality. You might possibly see yourself or someone in your family. August Wilson dug deep for this one. Great story with words that hit harder than Troy Maxon's bat.
