Is the Movie Fences on Netflix?

The movie Fences is a 2016 American period drama directed by Denzel Washington and starring Viola Davis and Washington himself. It is based on the 1983 play of the same name by August Wilson and adapted for the screen by Wilson.

The film follows the life of Troy Maxson, a former Negro League baseball player who works as a garbage collector in 1950s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fences explores deep themes like race relations, family dynamics, loyalty, and betrayal.

The movie was met with critical acclaim upon its release and was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Washington’s performance as Troy. Davis won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Rose Maxson. The film also won several Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama and both Washington and Davis winning Best Actor and Actress respectively.

The question remains, however: is Fences available to watch on Netflix? Unfortunately, it appears that the answer is no; at least not in its entirety. While Netflix does have some episodes from the miniseries adaptation of Wilson’s play (which stars Courtney B. Vance as Troy), it does not include the feature-length film version released in 2016 with Washington and Davis.

It appears that those who wish to watch Fences will have to find another streaming service or buy or rent a physical or digital copy from Amazon Video or iTunes instead. Given its many accolades, this is one movie that is worth seeking out!

In conclusion, while Fences is not currently available on Netflix, there are still plenty of options available to viewers who wish to enjoy this powerful drama about family dynamics set in 1950s America.
