TrailerThe movie is set in 1923 in British Colonial Nigeria with a man named Mister Johnson. He is an oddity - an educated black man who doesn't really fit in with the natives or the British. He works for the local British magistrate and is always scheming, trying to get ahead.Genre: DramaActors: Maynard Eziashi, Pierce Brosnan, Edward Woodward, Beatie Edney, Denis Quilley, Nick Reding, Bella Enahoro, Femi Fatoba, Q, Hubert Ogunde, Sola Adeyemi, ...»Director: Bruce BeresfordCountry: United StatesDuration: 101 minQuality: HDRelease: 1990IMDb: 6.4Rating(0) Voted0 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Mister Johnson"
Entertainment WeeklySeptember 07, 2011Beresford, adapting Joyce Cary's 1939 novel, looks at the psychological relationships inherent in colonialism with some subtlety.
VarietyJuly 28, 2008Beresford and writer William Boyd have delivered a film strangely devoid of emotion and lacking a clear point of view.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004The film works well as far as it goes, but some of the story's emotional power is denatured or lost.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000No great friend of colonialism, Beresford makes his point without losing sight of either history or its mostly unsung heroes.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Although this colonial satire has intelligent aims, it's always a degree or two off the mark.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000I have seen "Mister Johnson" two times, and both times I admired its sense of time and place, and the thoughtful performances of Eziashi, Brosnan and Woodward.
TV GuideAugust 12, 2014To both the humane Rudbeck, intelligently played by Pierce Brosnan, and the abusive drunkard Gollup, Johnson is a cipher.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)August 24, 2003This just doesn't really work, but then, neither did the novel.
Spirituality and PracticeJuly 12, 2003A richly nuanced and well-acted screen version of Joyce Cary's 1839 novel.
Film4May 24, 2003Issues of race and racism here are as vague as they were in Driving Miss Daisy, and you are left with the impression Beresford is happy to dodge the issues he dabbles with.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsJanuary 01, 2000A standout performance by Maynard Eziashi in the title role
