this move , long with manchester by the sea , were the 2 most boring films ive seen in the past week... but the critics say otherwise..i guess I should read the audience reviews from now on instead of the critics reviews on rotten tomatoes.. - @Sunday, March 12, 2017 3:36 AM

This film sucked, literally the worst film i've ever seen, the only scenes were in the back garden chatting shit. I could just go and knock on my neighbors door if i wanted to listen to a random life story. - @Saturday, March 4, 2017 11:33 PM

This movie is not very PC. Where's the white actors? And we need at least 1 gay person or this just isn't representative of reality. - @Monday, February 27, 2017 4:30 PM

Nice trailer... outside of dad being hard and keeping it real... what the hell is the plot? Also, just because Denzel gets angry on screen, doesn't mean its Oscar worthy. We've see this in all his previous films so this trailer didn't indicate we were seeing anything special or different. Having said that, Denzel is a great actor and I like almost all his movies. - @Friday, January 27, 2017 4:13 PM

god damn this looks amazing and intense AF. i thought it was some feel good old school black movie. damn. gotta check it out - @Friday, January 27, 2017 3:12 AM

I was thrilled to hear of the four Oscar nominations for Fences, including ones for Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, and the original writer, August Wilson. It's definitely one of the years" best films and the movie itself is nominated! I really wish that Mykelti Williamson had also received a Best Supporting Actor nomination. He should have been nominated for Forrest Gump, twenty-two years ago and this would have made up for that some. Also, he really deserved to be recognized for Fences. That would have been great! Good luck to Denzel and Viola! I really want to hear their names called out on Oscar night! - @Wednesday, January 25, 2017 8:24 AM

Hmm, I guess Denzel cares for this one (since he directed it) and thus finally pulls out the top of his game again. - @Saturday, January 7, 2017 8:54 PM
