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.

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.

Doc Martin would be appalled and I wouldn't blame him.

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.

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]
