About this movie

Some people build fences to keep people out - and other people build fences to keep people in. Academy Award winner® Denzel Washington and Academy Award nominee® Viola Davis deliver the year’s most powerful performances in the film adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Fences. Set in 1950s Pittsburgh, the film takes a passionate look at former Negro-league baseball player Troy Maxson (Washington) as he fights to provide for those he loves in a world that threatens to push him down. Washington’s directorial triumph pulses with the universal truths of love, forgiveness, and happiness despite what lies beyond your own fence.

I love t brought it and so far I've watched it 4 times Vola Davis beautiful top rated actor I've not seen a time when she mss her mark and she sets it high and of Course Denzel he says a little is a lot I like that just human , just living life , in his movies . She actors think every line everything is funny to much , sometimes, to much drinking who wants to watch a drunk have to much bad sex , he does it in moderation just a regular person

Definitely deserved all the Oscar nominations. Danzel’s performance as Troy should have gotten an Oscar. Viola was perfection! A must see recommendation.

I have watched the movie at least three times. The actors are all fantastic. Several of the scenes are breathtaking. I have also seen live productions. This is a great story.
