It was worth seeing just to see these two as a couple going through their hard times. It seems like a no brainier that one day these two would work together on this level and here it is. A well driven vehicle for Washington as well as well made by Washington who also directed the film.ĭenzel and Viola Davis were a pretty outstanding combination. As far as I could see it had little to do with it and was instead concerned with the emotional faultlines of a family in a totally universally relateable way.Ī very strong emotional performance by the great Denzel Washington, not his best per say but it gives us everything we love about this great actor. I'm surprised that the IMDb description has it as being concerned with race relations. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis deliver master classes in power and nuance. The writing pulls you in masterfully and exceptional actors work their magic with it. There was a little unevenness, the beginning seemed on the long side, but when the story steps up a gear, it seemed a little underdeveloped. It's called Fences, I interpreted this as the psychological fences people erect to protect themselves, fences which tragically keep those closest to you out. The quality of the writing is such that, by focussing on the psychology of one man and his own life, and its impact on his family, it makes you think about your own life and certainly your relationship with your father. It follows in that long line of stories about Patriarchs crushed under the weight of their own psychological implosion, King Lear, the Old Testament's Nebuchadnezzar and so on. For anyone as unfamiliar as myself, the easiest way to describe it is as being very reminiscent of Death Of A Salesman. This film is a great example of how exceptional writing can rivet an audience.
