You can tell that this movie was based on a play because of the excellent decision to keep the setting isolated almost entirely to the backyard area. It almost became one of the characters of the movie honestly. This movie was all about acting and the two leads, as well as the supporting characters, did an amazing job. The movie had a lot of talking but it was more about conveying things past the words with their body language and faces and they all did a remarkable job. Denzel Washington did an amazing job being a very not likable person but yet understanding why he is the way he is and Viola Davis's face spoke full monologues before she finally got to deliver an amazing one.
I would absolutely recommend people checking this out. The performances were great and it takes you on quite an emotional roller coaster even though it's so simple and keeps you mostly in the backyard of this family. It was a little longer than I think it should have been but was great.
