Knocking Reviews
I'm not sure it's actually a very good movie. The slight twist at the end undermines all the tension and uncertainty that came before. Its ambiguity was its power and they gave it all away in the service of social commentary, without letting the audience in on it to build any kind of rapport to support it. Not very well executed.
Not a very good film all and all. Its crazy that a hour and eighteen minute film can feel so long but... There is just so much inefficiency in the way in which this story is told so many shots that both having jarring movement and are unnecessarily long. It brags out the film and just makes it generally more boring. The story is quite simplistic and often I just wish it was told in a more efficient fashion. The ending maybe 10 minutes were substantially better but it did not make up for the rest of the films failures. Very much a skip.

The eerie atmosphere and the amazing performance from the main protagonist are the core attractions of this horror movie. But the climax is too predictable with the protagonist being consumed by her own psychological drama.
‘Knocking' Challenges Perceptions with Stunning Psychological Thriller
a slow burn, for sure, but also effective. i enjoyed it. i feel like most everyone can somewhat relate to hearing sounds through walls via neighbors or other family members; & the paranoia that could come with constant unknowns. especially when you're alone. i thought it was well done. would recommend, but you'd have to be in the mood for it i think.
A deep psychological drama from the well established Swedish tradition of producing films that are mind numbingly boring to sit through. Despite its relatively short length it felt much, much longer. Well acted, but dull, dull, dull.
