How can they not. Electrifying performances that literally had me entranced. I've seen this twice now and I've rarely been more amazed at actors working.

It's a credit to August Wilson as a writer, and to the cast of the film, they never come off as anything other than natural.

What makes it interesting is: they deliver it naturally as if it's not an artifical monologue. Those long lines just blend perfectly into the story.

Absolute truth. There was never a doubt in my mind that these two had been to Hell and back together (well, they hadn't quite reached Hell....yet).<br /><br />As good as the performances are, is there a scenario that exists where you would watch this film again?

Love that you single out Stephen McKinley Henderson, because he's doing such terrific, subtle work as Bono. That scene late in the film at the bar? UGH. He floored me with just the look on his face - it said so much about his character and relationship to Troy. He should be joining Washington and Davis in the awards conversation.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-46498069910517841382017-01-11T09:55:45.094-05:002017-01-11T09:55:45.094-05:00This movie is going to ruin me, I just know it.
