A great film - as good as The Full Monty. A mustsee

Watched The Fence, an truly great film last night.

Rating 18 (X) due to a bit of glue sniffing; I normally don't watch 18 films, but no issue with this one; at home I'd happily let a 14 year-old see it).

Good thought-provoking viewing for adults of all ages, perhaps especially interesting for those who remember the economically-tough 1980 's as the film is set on a council estate in 1980's.

British made & filmed. This director's first full-length film, but you'd never guess.

A true story, this gritty 1980's film reminded me of The Full Monty.

I strongly recommend going to see The Fence. I saw it at Showcase, but a good choice for arts cinemas and indies too.

A great watch, and fabulous storyline.

I definitely think this film is guna be one of those cult classics! I mean who doesn't love the 80s? Great storyline and really relatable characters, it was an absolute joy to watch! If your thinking about watching you won't be disappointed, it brings back 80s nostalgia, some grit about life in a lower class area of Bristol but it's also really funny and heartwarming it also shows no matter where you come from you can achieve good things, which I think is important for young boys living in that area. I hope the fence gets the notoriety it deserves and goes far and wide! Absolute cracker! 10 stars from me!!!!

Brought back memories

Loved the short film.

The feature length was even better .

Took me right back in time with music , costumes , venues , felt right at home watching this.

Excellently filmed and superb casting .

Very believable .

Seen it twice now and will definitely be going again.

Nice to be a cinema that was packed out and everyone laughing and applauding at the end .

Everybody I know who has seen this have all loved it .

Everyone involved should be extremely proud of themselves.

Was perfect from start to finish.

For a low budget film I must say this was much better Than some of the big budget films I've seen on Netflix and other film channels.

Bring on the next one that's what I say William Stone .

A star in the making for sure.
