Critic Reviews of "Mr. Church"
New YorkerSeptember 22, 2016It's repugnant for its dehumanizing view (however unintentionally so) of a black man, and repugnant for its emptying-out of one of the great black performers of the time into a sanitized symbol of acceptable blackness.
RogerEbert.comSeptember 16, 2016After helming this, an episode of Roots and Best Picture-winner Driving Miss Daisy, Beresford should be forced to join 'Subservient Cinematic Negroes Anonymous.'
New York Daily NewsSeptember 16, 2016Murphy's low-key but affecting performance is filled with loaded and loving glances. And the restraint becomes the 55-year-old star. If only the film were better.
Washington PostSeptember 15, 2016Murphy is fine as the title character, although his performance consists mostly of suppressing all of his usual shtick. He certainly doesn't endow Mr. Church with any unexpected depths. But then neither does the script.
Los Angeles TimesSeptember 15, 2016Somehow Murphy manages to lift his dignified, all-knowing servant character off the page, giving a meticulously composed performance in a vehicle that can't help but feel superficially repackaged.
Seattle TimesSeptember 15, 2016Get out your handkerchiefs, but don't expect to believe a minute of this vastly improbable tale.
Black Girl NerdsJanuary 01, 2017Man, this type of role is really out of pocket for Eddie Murphy. He isn't funny, and he isn't particularly interesting.
JoBlo's Movie EmporiumSeptember 28, 2016Very hokey and old-fashioned in its sensibilities, but Eddie Murphy's performance is excellent.
Cinemalogue.comSeptember 23, 2016Murphy's understated portrayal is a highlight in an otherwise heavy-handed examination of the way in which troubled souls come together to form surrogate families.
Movie NationSeptember 22, 2016"Mr. Church" serves up comfort food in an era when every food truck and most indie films offer more interesting fare.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CitySeptember 16, 2016There are several things to like about a quiet drama like Mr. Church. But the thing that feels most notable about director Bruce Beresford's story of a young woman and her unique father figure is the presence of Eddie Murphy in the title role.
