Review of Knowing

Knowing (2009)
7/10
The children get it while the grownups are hysterical
21 January 2024
I found Knowing to be exciting, thanks to the mystery of the numbers the girl scribbled down, eventually leading up to an ending of Biblical proportions. The men in dark coats, the black pebbles they leave behind, the unintelligible whispers they emit - what are they and why do they all through the movie seem to follow the children? There is a sense of nostalgia and resignation to Cage's character. The sense we get is that the children are the future, and the grown ups are not able to listen or to change. The woman in the movie is hysterical and quite frankly annoying. She knew what was coming, but she still refused to accept it. What do I think about the very end? I'm not sure. It's not very clever, merely completes the Biblical narrative already laid down.
