   Is 'fences' a good movie?

   • “Fences” is lively and vibrant yet aching and tragic. The cast’s rapport carries over beautifully from stage to screen, and their handling of August Wilson’s characters comes from an understanding far deeper that simple familiarity. August 20, 2022 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… It's impossible to watch and not be moved.

   Is 'fences' a filmed reading?

   • But even as it properly foregrounds Wilson’s dialogue — few playwrights have approached his genius for turning workaday vernacular into poetry — “Fences” is much more than a filmed reading. Mr. Washington has wisely resisted the temptation to force a lot of unnecessary cinema on the play.

   Is 'fences' a good play?

   • “Fences” has passages of fierce and moving power, but on screen the play comes off as episodic and more than a bit unwieldy. As other characters show up, each sheds a ray of light on the real nature of Troy.

   Did Denzel Washington & Viola Davis play 'Fences'?

   • Denzel Washington and Viola Davis reprise their stage roles in Washington's screen adaptation of 'Fences,' the beloved 1950s-set August Wilson play about a black family in Pittsburgh. Fences is as faithful, impeccably acted and honestly felt a film adaptation of August Wilson’s celebrated play as the late author could have possibly wished for.
