(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1   "hardly Wenders' most adventurous feature, although perhaps his bravest, dramatising not only the director's undoubted influence on the last 20 years of indie cinema, but also his increasing redundancy within it."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel B+ "Knocking 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"   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Don't Come Knocking is every bit the instant classic that Paris, Texas was, possibly more so."   Film Journal International   Chris Barsanti 2/4 "This is just another male menopause movie, marred by unlikely dialogue and hokey theatrical symbolism."   Slant Magazine   Dan Callahan C "... is so meandering it can make a sober viewer into a drunk."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/5 "Wim Wenders y Sam Shepard (Paris, Texas) recuperan (en excelente fotografía y mejor música) una iconografía norteamericana al servicio de una historia sobre el desarraigo y la necesidad de recuperar vínculos largamente perdidos."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "This is lightweight drama, sure, but it's a charming example of it."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "Reminiscent of a hand-me-down Shepard play, recycling ideas that he's treated far more effectively in the past."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "Has the quirkiness we've come to expect and relish in a Wim Wenders movie. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/5 "Don't Come Knocking might have been better in the hands of a less self-conscious director, but it's nonetheless a captivating drama."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi B- "Totally lacking pretense and easily accessible, this character driven film is beautifully captured"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 2.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/5 "The narrative that unfolds in the wake of Spence's journey recalls Paris but walks too heavy for a character study to gel."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento 5/5 "Another masterpiece from Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Provocative and haunting, but as a moviegoing experience, it's rather elusive."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ ""Don't Come Knocking" marches to Wim Wender and Sam Shepard's own drumbeat and may not appeal to other than the art house crowd."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford C+ "... a meandering country-and-western pop tune that sings its lyrics with a chagrined contrition and a crooked smile."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/4 "When Wenders spins his camera around Shepard in a 24-hour pan Don't Come Knocking finds an invisible framework and plucks it like a guitar string."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1
