Fences
Denzel Washington and Viola Davis
Based on August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the life of African-american garbo Troy Maxson and his wife Rose in 1957 Pittsburgh, Fences is pretty intense. Denzel is charming as rogue Troy – but it isn’t long before your admiration turns sour as he reveals himself as a man drowning in self-pity. Rose’s anger unleashed will leave you breathless.
