Reviews in German: "Ein Genre so gegen den Strich zu bürsten, daß es auf groteske Weise kenntlich wird - das hat einen ganz besonderen Reiz. Bei Dominik Grafs knallig-romantischer Etüde der Massenpsychologie "Dr. Knock", einer Verfilmung des französischen Theaterstücks von Romain Rolland sind zwar Mentalitätsbrüche zu spüren, aber die Konsequenz dieses blühenden Experiments der Massensuggestion ist so bizarr komisch und bös, daß die Mixtur aus gemeingefährlichem ländlichen Aberglauben, oberbayerischem Bergdoktorkitsch und zynischer Abzocker-Farce ihre eigenen Giftdämpfe in der Dorf-Idylle entwickelt. (...)" (Ponkie, AZ, 12. Juni 1998)
