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 08/03/2018
2/5
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. Go to Full Review

Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter 10/28/2017
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. Go to Full Review

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... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

carlos t 09/24/2022 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?
