Don't Come Knocking Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Despite the film's false notes, its balladlike moods ring true.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
The story is as meandering as it is self-indulgent.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
With its wonderful veteran cast, its heart on its sleeve, and a love for the landscape that suffuses its technique, Don't Come Knocking is a peculiar but rewarding escape.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Don't Come Knocking isn't noticeably relevant or insightful, even if you're able to suspend disbelief long enough to buy the idea of a western movie star in the 21st Century.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
The kind of movie you stretch out in, wander around, and -- like the characters onscreen -- just let happen to you.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It degenerates into one of those scream-o-ramas, an emotional hellzapoppin', where everybody tries to make everybody else cry.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
As arresting as the images are, Shepard's clunky, soap-opera banter brings most everything, and everyone, crashing down to earth.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Shards of honesty pierce the action, true little moments that wound or heal a weak man in a flawed story.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
A moving film that hangs with you like a favorite vacation to red-rock country.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Burdened with uneven acting and portentous dialogue, the film has one important saving grace. Franz Lustig's cinematography exquisitely captures the grandeur and loneliness of the American West.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Don't Come Knocking finally doesn't work for me, because instead of embodying its themes it seems to be regarding them from outside, with awe, as if it is the high school production of itself.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
There's something a little absurd about this story, but for me, it's endearingly goofy.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
[A] big-hearted failure of a film.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
A pretentious drama about a formerly famous movie star undergoing an identity crisis.
Seattle Times
Misha Berson
For 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.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But 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.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
It's a beautiful mess, but it's a mess all the same.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
There are so many good performances here.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
This is the Diet Coke of existentialism. One calorie. Not existential enough.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
More a cry of regret than a coherent story.
