Knock, a retired crook-turned-qualified doctor, arrives in the small village of Saint-Maurice to implement a method' that he believes will make him rich: he will persuade the villagers that healthy people are simply people who don't realize they are ill. To do this, he needs to find an illness -- either real or imaginary -- that afflicts each person. But his plans are rattled by two things he had not foreseen: his own romantic feelings and the appearance of a dubious character from his past.

David Stratton The Australian Levy's approach is simplistic and sentimental, making it difficult for the fine actors involved (Sabine Azema, Rufus, Ana Girardot) to keep the film's excesses in check. Rated: 2/5 Aug 3, 2018 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Doc Martin would be appalled and I wouldn't blame him. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 2, 2018 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter Levy, who adapted the play herself, has expanded the number of "colorful" supporting roles from the original play, giving each character even less time to develop beyond their bare, two-adjective outlines. Oct 28, 2017 Full Review Julian Wood FILMINK (Australia) ...a passing fever quickly cured and forgotten. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Fausto Fernandez Fotogramas Set in the 50s... 'Doctor. Knock (Knock)' changes from the original... However, in the end those touches serve more as an excuse for the brilliance of Omar Sy...

carlos t Minha opinião: É o estilo de filme que mais se identifica com Omar, o estilo auto-ajuda, superação, bola para frente e este filme não sai desta proposta. Onde passa em uma cidade da Espanha, onde ele saiu fugido do antigo local onde devia dinheiro e este passado vira assombrar sua vida. Mas quando ele fugia, se fez passar de médico dentro de uma navio. E assim que chega nesta nova cidade ele exerce como médico e se torna bem sucedido e revoluciona a saúde de toda a cidade. Porém ele é perseguido pelo padre da cidade que tem inveja dele e começa a persegui-lo e os antigos fantasmas também surge para estorqui-lo. E todo este processo ele se apaixona por uma mulher que fica com tuberculose e acaba morrendo. O padre desmascara ele, mas a cidade apoia Omar e assim termina. A grande moral do filme é Omar recupera a alta estima de todos da cidade ajuda a liberta as pessoas dos vícios e ter uma vida mais saudável. Roteiro: boa Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie, great story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
