Consensus: Murky and too artsy for its own good, November ends up being a case of style with little substance.

Genre: Thriller
Synopsis: This stylish thriller, which was shot on mini-DV in only 15 days in guerilla manner, displays a moody aestheticism and cohesive vision that suggests a bigger budget. The claustrophobic interiors,... [More]

Reviews for November
Top CriticIf you like this sort of challenge, there are better examples (try The Machinist) than this lugubrious and derivative work.
07/29/05
It's no classic, but it has more in the way of brains than many of its fellows.
07/28/05
Abstract in the extreme but strangely satisfying.
08/03/05
For all its good intentions in exploring the grace of death, November never creates a life outside of its all-too-obvious inspirations
07/28/05
Artsy but unconvincing. November keeps viewers guessing, but not in a good way.
08/22/05
A sort of 'Occurrence at Owl Creek Convenience Store' for moviegoers more familiar with Nine Inch Nails videos than Ambrose Bierce...
08/26/05
While not entirely successful Harrison and company manage to create one of the strangest romantic films out there and for their attempt at the offbeat deserve to be recognized.
07/05/05
Those who give themselves over to Harrison's compelling machinations will be rewarded with a superbly unnerving mystery.
07/31/05
Full of twists and turns and strange developments, but it's frustrating to try to figure out where it's headed.
08/19/05
A profoundly irritating and meaningless experience... can we please stop making this same movie over and over again, already?
08/09/05
Telegraphs its unsatisfying payoff for miles, has no fun getting there, but at least boasts a running time of 73 minutes, padded by a hilariously slow credit crawl.
04/10/05
There's nothing really about it that's its own.
06/09/05
It's supposed to look stylish, a film noir... but a psychological thriller cannot live by mood and atmosphere alone.
08/06/05
Director Greg Harrison attempts to compensate for a weak, undernourished screenplay with flashy visuals, including excessive rapid cutting and blurry shots that add nothing of value.
09/08/05
It's intriguing when a film is about tension, and its method is about tension, and the two seem to be pulling against each other.
08/04/05
Top CriticEven the gamest viewers will become frustrated if they're not let in on the joke.
02/20/05
There is much promise here from the young director, Greg Harrison.
09/15/05
A one-woman Rashomon that plays and replays the same traumatic incident, with shifts in nuance.
07/21/05
A detective investigating the shooting comments on some photos that pertain to the case: 'It's a shame. They're almost too arty for their own good.' The same can easily be said about November.
