While certain clichés may be inevitable in a portrayal of a truly good man, some could have been avoided.

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.

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.

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..

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.
