Don't Come Knocking

There was a chance for "Don't Come Knocking" to have a point, especially when it comes to bringing family into focus after brokenness. Sam Shepherd doesn't have a lot of lines to deliver and the ones he does are lifeless. Even Jessica Lange can't save this script.

I lile the photography,Good mood,Nice takes, music well choosen

A man's journey into his past turns up a son he never knew that he had and small town living that clearly doesn't care if he's around or not. Wenders makes a pretty film, but an aging movie star who flees a set and goes on a journey of...personal discovery (?) just never fully engages the audience, as he doesn't seem to know why he's there either, y'know? It's an okay time-waster, but I would be hard pressed to say when I would revisit this one. A rental, at best.

So underrated. It's a real shame nobody seems to get this wonderful film.

It never really works, but Wim Wenders movie can't help but be a pleasure. It has the feel of something that might have been made in the '70's. As expected, Shepard and Lange are outstanding. Despite its flaws, fans of the three main artists will enjoy every moment.

Quirky off beat story of a man who decides rather late in life that it's time to pick up the dropped threads of a life he abandoned a long time ago. Love Sarah Polley's role and the Hopper inspired camera work.

I am amazed of how veteran German director Wim Wenders was able to create a genuine southern american authenticity in this beautiful movie! Also, Jessica Lange is devine!

It doesn't work, but Jessica Lange sparks the screen whenever she is on it. Sadly, this feels like lazy filmmaking and a true waste of some very talented actors. Only Lange escapes unscathed.

SARAH POLLEY is so wonderful in this. the rest of the movie is average.

"Like I couldn't breathe sometimes. Like I was falling, and I had to catch myself. Like I couldn't stop falling. Then one day it ended. It just came to an end. It just stopped. And I don't ever wanna go back to that. Falling. I don't ever wanna go back."
