Fences - Avis

Whereas Troy’s brilliant originator, James Earl Jones, kept an open vein of terror flowing through his performance, Washington smothers his dark side with a charm that’s as sticky as flypaper.

It’s not an epic story, but it is a story told epically.

...crackles with spitfire dialogue, blazing emotions, and worn-down, gut-punched humanity.

This film is conceived as a showcase for its performers, and, as that, it is immaculate.

Washington og Davis spiller, som gjaldt det deres liv. Det er umuligt ikke at mærke deres kærlighed til Wilsons manuskript, der for store dele består af lange, fortræffeligt skrevne monologer.

…en av årets filmer som absolut inte får missas!
