Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media While certain clichés may be inevitable in a portrayal of a truly good man, some could have been avoided. Rated: 3/5 Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Decider Johnny turns well-worn character types and scenarios into a touching tale of forgiveness. Its animating spirit of grace is enough to cover any multitude of faults, and the uncommonly inspired direction gives it an additional lift. Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Ready Steady Cut Staff Ready Steady Cut Johnny succeeds in conveying to us the messages that Father Jan wanted everyone to hear. One of them is that time is the most important thing we can give each other. Rated: 3/5 Mar 26, 2023 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Johnny is a simple but impactful movie. It doesn’t try too hard to add drama or intrigue to its tale, just allowing the goodness of two people to speak for themselves as they endure hardship and work through one of life’s most harrowing responsibilities.. Rated: 7/10 Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel G Impactul bio-drama from Poland - the actor who played the debilitated priest, Dawid Ogrodnik, was just outstanding and the story captivating, though at times a bit slow. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review D D Excellent, compassionate story of healing and humanity. 10 stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Cez Well made. Very touching. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Trudy C I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a moving story about 1 man's faith and courage and despite all the odds he left an impact on so many lives. It also had light and humorous parts. Totally recommend 👌 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Kit V It is not very often that I feel moved enough to give a film the full five-star rating but with Johnny I can give it no less. A beautiful film that tells the story of morality, healing, death, and redemption all in one swoop, the directing is gentle enough to give full license to the actors and by the time the film had finished I was moved. The fact that this is based on a true story, a real person, and real events is not made much of prior to the start of the movie and I was shocked to learn that in the end, I had been watching fact with little fiction to get in the way. I am not catholic and this film deals with morals rather than religion but I was left feeling that the world has good priests and the priest portrayed is one of the best. A beautiful film, with a wonderful story, and suitable for any age group. Well done! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Hans S What a beautiful film… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
