Leave your thoughts about Don't Come Knocking.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiAnother masterpiece from Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfKnocking could be considered a coming out party for Sam Shepard, who turns in a performance that effectively erases the bitter taste of the last ten years of his career |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinIt has the feel of an idea that was kicked around without ever finding its footing. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThis is something to see. A perfect independent film to be sure. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersBut I liked this movie, by the end liked it a lot. I was moved, left both shaken and elated by the turn of events which brought all these disparate characters together. |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitTotally lacking pretense and easily accessible, this character driven film is beautifully captured |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseIn the film's best scene, Roth interrogates Lange about potatoes. Unfortunately such moments are rare. |
| Seattle TimesMisha BersonFor those in tune with Shepard's oeuvre; Wenders' sly, muted tone; and the exquisite cinematography of Franz Lustig, Don't Come Knocking can be quirkily resonant. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Often occupying more than half the screen, the sky is like a character in the movie, but, unfortunately, it's the most interesting character in the film, which has a bright, distinct look and dull, forgettable people. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerAn engaging drama with strong performances and gorgeous photography, this a minor return to form for director Wim Wenders. |
