Synopsis

Fences is the story of Troy Maxson, a mid-century Pittsburgh sanitation worker who once dreamed of a baseball career, but was too old when the major leagues began admitting black players. He tries to be a good husband and father, but his lost dream of glory eats at him, and causes him to make a decision that threatens to tear his family apart.

Absorbing drama of family dynamics. The protagonists may be African American, but the themes are universal. Great dialog. At times it was eloquent. Solid performances by all concerned. My one criticism is that the ending was dragged out, as my father-in-law said of guests who took their time saying goodbye, "Theyt ooze". Otherwise, a fine screen adaptation of a play by one of America's top contemporary playwrights.
