Fences (7.3/10)

A bit dissapointed in this film. It has great reviews but I thought it was overrated and it might be the Denzel Washington inlfuence. I found there was a lot of slow dialogue that was hard to stay locked in. "Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's (Jovan Adepo) chance to meet a college football recruiter."
