Fantastic movie--great acting and story plot!! I plan to see it again this week. I loved it!! I will buy the movie when it hits the stores!!
I didn't expect to like it as much as I did! A lovely movie - maybe if you've never dreamed of something you won't connect, but I LOVED IT!
I love musical film but I didn't "get" this one. I enjoyed the actors but they weren't singers.
So say this is a movie is brash mis-characterization of what a movie is supposed to be. The hype surrounding this piece of rotting fecal matter is nothing short of trying to pass a fresh dog turd off as a Tootsie Roll to your best friend who paid you $10 to put it in their mouth, laughing as you run away. If this movie crosses your mind, stay home and watch something fun on Netflix.
I really enjoyed this movie, I liked it more as it went on. Good music, good acting, and really well done! The ending was a tad disappointing though :(
OK, but I just don't get all the hype.
Cameras/lighting were miraculous. They captured the way films were made 50 years ago; with different lenses and using lighting instead of digital colorizing. THAT BEING SAID, it's a flimsy script - but it's a musical. If you're going for the intense acting/script in Fences - you'll be sad. But if you're up for the experience of vintage musicals you'll have fun. The opening highway dance scene is memorable.
Can't wait to see it again!
Over-hyped. Worn out story line. Way too long. Love Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone but their singing and dancing were borderline cringeworthy. Would not recommend this movie.
Best film I've seen in 40 plus years. Can't wait to see it again. And I usually don't see a movie more than once. Can't get the music out of my head. Loved it! Loved it!
