   Is fences a good movie?

   Is 'fences' a filmed reading?

   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.
