Johnny

About This Movie

So, 'Johnny' from 2022, yeah, it’s a quiet little drama that plays with some heavy themes. The story revolves around this ex-criminal who’s court-ordered to work at a hospice, which sets the stage for some pretty profound character development. The atmosphere is somber yet somehow hopeful, a tough balance to achieve, but I think they pull it off. The pacing is deliberate—maybe even slow for some—but it allows for those moments of genuine connection, especially between him and the priest. The performances are raw, especially the lead, who brings a lot of grit to the role. It’s not flashy, but there’s something really distinctive about the way it handles redemption and friendship amidst loss.
