Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonEziashi delivers an exquisite performance.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA richly nuanced and well-acted screen version of Joyce Cary's 1839 novel.
Entertainment Weekly - 6/10 by Owen GleibermanBeresford, adapting Joyce Cary's 1939 novel, looks at the psychological relationships inherent in colonialism with some subtlety.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffBeresford and writer William Boyd have delivered a film strangely devoid of emotion and lacking a clear point of view.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Desson ThomsonAlthough this colonial satire has intelligent aims, it's always a degree or two off the mark.
User Review - 10/10 by Graham WShot on location, the Jos Plateau of Nigeria this is a faithful adaptation of the novel which I read before seeing the film. Johnson was the kind of southerner detested in the north of Nigeria, an antipathy which eventually led to civil was in 1966. This is a faithful recreation of colonial Northern Nigeria and contains a sad moral dilemma.
User Review - 10/10 by Frecissimo SExcellent period piece set in turn of the century Nigeria. Sensitive performances, sympathetic cinematography and a tight, well moulded and beautifully written script delivers Pierce Brosnan's best film. The ending is just too sad, though!
User Review - 8/10 by Eric JThis film reminded me somewhat of "The Deceivers", which also starred Pierce Brosnan in the role of a British Colonial official. An interesting character study. The ending was a surprise.
User Review - 8/10 by Pearletta WI just loved the character Mister Johnson although I had to laugh at his wild imagination. His dreams were hopelessly unrealistic but I loved the way he like to 'party'. Oh seh the King of Moses, of Moses, of Moses...
User Review - 6/10 by Matt HMaynard Eziashi gives a great, charismatic performance. Feels very tragic. Good script and story.
