Leave your thoughts about Who's That Knocking at My Door.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAs a film, it has something to say to everyone. As a technical achievement, it brings together two opposing worlds of American cinema. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceA rough yet hyper-sensitive film forever luxuriating in sensation |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum[It] can be read as a rather rough draft of Mean Streets. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonInevitably, not all of this works, but there is rarely a dull moment. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyLike all his films, Scorsese's debut, about an Italian-American youth (Keitel) caught between an affair with upper-crust blonde and the lure of gang life, has strong personal elements; the milieu and characters would reaappear in the classic Mean Streets |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe crude semi-autobiographical film is a forerunner to Scorsese's powerful Mean Streets. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellA crudely shot but effective film that not only introduced us to Scorsese but several of the themes around religion, love and gender that he's continued to explore even in his more recent films. |
| New YorkerMichael SragowMartin Scorsese's début feature has just the slightest bit of story line, but the movie is a fascinating portfolio piece: a black-and-white blueprint for "Mean Streets." |
| User ReviewMatt OMartin Scorsese's dreamlike black and white debut feature length film. A fine piece of art. |
| User ReviewAdam Bthis film changed my life. as soon as it finished i turned it back on again. |
