Jerzy, Michael.‘Fences’ Is A Poignant Commentary On The Meaning Of Life, For All People (неопр.). The Federalist. DRLST Media (22 декабря 2016). — «On a substantive level, the film's title refers to the actual fence Maxson, played by Washington himself, builds throughout the film, finally finishing it in the third act. While Troy sees the fence as an allegory to keep the Grim Reaper away, his wife, Rose—played near flawlessly by Viola Davis, who will most likely win an Oscar for her performance—explains that fences keep certain things out, but more importantly, they keep the things we want in.» Дата обращения: 30 декабря 2016.

David Edelstein.Denzel Washington’s Fences Gets Stuck Between Stage and Screen (неопр.). Vulture. New York Magazine (23 декабря 2016). — «There's a literal fence at the center of Fences, but it doesn't resonate onscreen the way it does onstage. It's not a living metaphor. Troy, a gifted baseball player, was fenced-out of the major leagues when he was young but was too old to strut his stuff when he emerged after a long stint in prison. Now, he sees fences everywhere. The fence that he's building, though, underscores the barrier he has erected between him and his sons, one from each of his marriages.» Дата обращения: 30 декабря 2016.
