In this adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play, an African American father struggles with race relations in the United States while trying to raise his family in the 1950s and coming to terms with the events of his life.
Insider’s tip: “This is Denzel Washington’s third at bat behind the camera while directing himself and, holy smokes, does he knock it out of the park with a vicious, visceral performance that fairly sets the screen ablaze” (Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle). Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times adds: “Though every performance is splendid, it’s Washington and Davis who create a mesmerizing symphony of emotion, finding both love and tragedy in every look, every line.” Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: “Ringing with both ancient wisdom and searing relevance, Fences feels as if it’s been crafted for the ages, and for this very minute.” Roger Moore, Movie Nation: “A Great American Play becomes a Great American Film with Fences, Denzel Washington’s letter-faithful adaptation of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece.”
Viola Davis – winner of Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role; Fences has another 30 wins and 84 nominations for excellence.
