Just saw "Fences." I'm not sure if this is quite fair but my feeling when watching it was that it was the black Glengarry Glen Ross. It's basically a vehicle for Denzel Washington and Viola Davis to go on extended monologues and just basically act everyone else's faces off.
Yeah to be fair Denzel has been wanting to get this movie made for a long time and its a shame that August Wilson died long before his wishes were granted in having his play adapted by a black director were made.

War Horse was good, haters be hating
I do like the reason Meat Loaf voted it for BP was because it made him cry

Everything about sting comes across as unbelievably pretentious.
What if pulled his face revealing that it was a mask and that he is actually Surfer Sting?

So my understanding of Fences is that it's 45 seconds long and is just Denzel Washington telling his son he doesn't like him?
Hey you could watch the version with James Earl Jones doing that 45 seconds
