Critic Reviews of "Fences"
Time OutFebruary 06, 2017Washington is very good, but it's Davis - hurt, proud, determined - who's the star of this show.
Dallas Morning NewsDecember 29, 2016Washington has pledged to bring all of plays in the cycle to the screen. The good news is he started with a home run.
ReelViewsDecember 25, 2016Yes, Fences suffers somewhat from the bare-bones transferal of the "action" from stage to screen but the material is so compelling that viewers can easily lose sight of the movie's "play nature."
Tribune News ServiceDecember 25, 2016The two lead performances are stunningly complex and deeply human achievements from two of the finest actors working today.
New York Magazine/VultureDecember 24, 2016It's not cinematic enough to make you forget you're watching something conceived for another, more spatially constricted medium, but it's too cinematic to capture the intensity, the concentration, of a great theatrical event.
Chicago Sun-TimesDecember 23, 2016It's a privilege to watch Washington and Davis lay it all on the line.
Reel Talk OnlineMarch 22, 2017The performances by each of its six main characters... combined with Washington's gripping direction (inciting a mix of terror, madness, and pity), FENCES is simply extraordinary. It is not to be missed.
Seanax.comMarch 16, 2017It's Washington's third directorial effort and, as in his previous films, the camera serves the actors. He remains true to the play...
Q Network Film DeskMarch 16, 2017the power of the story lies not in its tragedy, but in how it finds the good in the bad, the seed of hope in the moments of despair, the strength of character in those most deeply and fundamentally flawed
Spokesman-Review (Washington)March 15, 2017As with many such family dramas, Davis' Rose is the foundation - and the scene in which she expresses betrayal may well be the movie's best. The rest of the cast, including Washington himself, is very nearly her equal.
Malibu TimesMarch 09, 2017All that being said, Washington and Viola Davis - reprising their 2010 Broadway roles - are so damn good and the supporting cast is so solid, Fences is worth seeing for the acting alone.
MLive.comMarch 03, 2017The bare-bones aesthetic means the film functions as a showcase for its cast, with Washington and Davis outsizing their environs with vivid grandiosity.
