Fences | Film Review
Hey Guys x I just went to see Fences, continuing my goal of seeing all (or most) of the Oscar 'Best Picture' nominees before the Oscars on Sunday. This is a film that I didn't hear much about before seeing it, so I kind of went in completely blind, not expecting anything one way or another. It's about a black family living in the 1950's. Troy (played by Denzel Washington) and Rose (played by the incredible Viola Davis) are married and doing all they can to raise their family the right way. But when their son Cory reveals his wish to play football, this leads to tension, animosity and unearthed secrets that threaten to tear the family apart. That's all I can say without spoiling anything, but if I could include spoilers, there would be a lot more to that plot description! I came out of the cinema not really knowing how I felt about this film, and I still don't. On the one hand, it was touching, there were such powerful, amazing moment...
