I think Knocking is a well-executed film if not a great one. The film does do paranoia well, making great use of its camera to inhabit a space as the actor finds herself, but ultimately feels like a lot of it could have been trimmed down as the end result does feel like there is an overall lack of consequence. The isolation feels rather depression-core, in a sense, especially with how cold Molly’s new neighbors seem to be towards her. I do think this will draw the urge for a rewatch from me at some point despite me not necessarily liking the film as a whole simply because there are visual aspects to this that I love. It’s just that those visuals are not enough to carry the film
