Steaming pile of horse manure
I love these actors but this movie was pure and utter garbage. Boring. Overacted. Wasted 2hrs and 18 minutes of my life. I sure hope this doesn't win any awards. What don't people make good movies anymore?

shareWow. That's a pretty extreme over reaction there, mclout.

I would rather put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger than to watch this again. So awful.

oh cry me a river. no we haven't all lived the life of slaves. neither have black people in America today. no we haven't all lived a poor life, but most black people are nice and educated and do not talk and behave the way these people did in the movie.
and frankly watching those nasty people in a movie is not entertaining. most people hate this movie.

Excuse me? Did you bother to look up ANYTHING about this film? It's set in the 1950s, and it's based on a play written BY a black playwright (August Wilson) who grew up during that era. "Most people hate this movie." Just admit you didn't like this film because you didn't know a damn thing about it to begin with. I'm black,and I thought FENCES that was an absolutely good film with great acting bu the leads, and FYI, a lot of black folks DO talk exactly like the characters in the film did, and still do today. You must not know a hell of a lot of black people (or working-class black people) to say the nonsense you just said, which is total and complete bull****. "Nasty people" Honestly, you just sounds so ignorant and out of touch with reality--where the hell are you from? And your grammar is poor---you couldn't even do a spellcheck before you bothered to type anything?
What a sad life you live.
Come at the king, you best not miss.
awesome powerful movie with superb acting all around this movie deserve all the praise it's getting, viola will win for sure but i loved casey affleck's more but denzel will be mu no 2 pick for best actor
p.s - not every movie is for everyone, there have never been a movie in history which everyone loved and there will never be
Sorry you didnt like this film but a bit curious as to why you didnt read up on it prior to going and get a drift of the background.
I think for many of us the film was excellent and will be worthy of all nominations and wins given to it. I may even go see it again as it was so very well done.
Again sorry you wasted your money.
You don't like it because you can't comprehend. You never lived or witness the lifestyle, household, except. If they taught this era for black Americans in school, maybe you'd understand.
shareI can comprehend just fine. I don't think broadway plays should be made into movies unless they are done correctly. this wasn't. This wasn't even acted very well. Denzel tried his hand at acting and failed miserably. Thats why it didn't win any awards at the Golden Globes tonight because it was complete crap.
share...it didn't win any awards at the Golden Globes tonight because it was complete crap.
it was complete crap.
Just like the opinions of this immature OP.
mcloutier:
Obviously you have NO taste in movies whatsoever if you actually thought this film was bad. Just admit you didn't like it because there were no explosions, CGI, or blatant sex scenes--not enough action for you. This is a drama about people, not about whatever the hell you thought it was supposed to be.
I've loved plenty of movies with no explosions or sex scenes or CGI. This movie was junk, hence no awards at the golden globes. Some broadway shows shouldn't be made into movies, this is one of them. The acting wasn't good at all, thats my man concern. Could care less it took place basically in his back yard. It was over acted, period. It's my opinion, if you don't like it then go somewhere else.

its absolute garbage
