Fences doesn't translate to film as well as you expect. All the performances are spot on and I understand all the praise they have gotten but the film they are in gets a little too long and the dialogue gets a little to excessive. If Denzel wins Best Actor and Viola Davis wins Best Supporting Actress then it would be totally deserved. They carry the film and the film would be quite dull without them.

Why is it when Denzel is in a movie he NEVER disappoints. He is in a league of his own. Viola is quickly becoming the same.

Good performances aren't holy. They can't mend to a cliché, long, boring story. My vote is only sustained by Viola Davis, who was outstandingly good. Not her fault the rest... simply isn't there.

I really love Denzel Washington but i didnt like this movie at all, im sure people will tell me all the reasons why they think its great well good for you, but i got bored to death by it. Long takes nothing really happening all talk, totally not a movie that Denzel Washington is known for. Might be on me expecting an interesting movie.

A great cast, but quite boring and way too wordy (that a word?) sorry to say. Indeed sometimes plays do not work well as movies. I attempted twice to finish and fell asleep both times. Oh well Denzel, you can't win them all.

I have always been a die hard Denzel fan and he never lets me down, however despite great acting, I felt like this one lacked content. Very little climax with a lackluster ending.

To be honest I don't agree with some of the other comments, plays are by their structure dialogue heavy, they carry emotion; the actors carry the weight in their reactions, their tone, their performance. This film with no doubt in my mind carries all that to the screen. The performances by Viola and Denzel were perfect, without a doubt carrying forward the stage cast gave the film the depth which could have easily been lost.

Can't quite escape its stage origins, but the film does exude a quiet power. A fine acting showcase too.
