Started watching Fences. I don't think August Wilson is quite right for the big screen. As much as I love his writing, it all sounds like a play, too heavy and too nonstop. The best moments are when the talking stops and you see Viola Davis wondering how to cary on.
In a way, it's like Sondheim or Porter on the screen. You don't need the third verse or the encore, as much as you love the lyrics.
