Review of Fences

Fences (2016)
6/10
Certainly a hit, but not out of the park
3 April 2017
Was the cast excellent, yes. Was the storyline incredibly emotional and fraught with tension, yes. In the first fifteen minutes the language just about did me in. All that in a PG-13 movie? Left a bad taste in my mouth. Ooohwee no one can ugly cry like Viola Davis, she deserved the Oscar imho. Wow. I cannot imagine performing this material on the stage eight times a week. Kudos. Good but not great is my final verdict.
