November is one of those films you can enjoy staring at from a perspective of visual-arts appreciation, even if the story gets thin (and it definitely does).

Rated: B

Sheri Linden

Los Angeles Times

Sarnet's earthbound fairy tale occupies a dreamscape somewhere between the teeming canvases of Brueghel and the existential agonies of Bela Tarr's films. And it's funny, with a sly salaciousness all its own.

Loud and Clear Reviews

November descends into the despairing snowy forests of Estonia to spin a dreamlike tale of folkloric superstition, unrequited love, and exchanges of souls.

Rated: 4.5/5

Cinema Crazed

November is a film that has striking visuals that make it entirely worth seeing all by themselves with performances that fascinate and creatures that puzzle in a good way.

Rated: 3.5/5

A strange and haunting fairy tale set amongst the squalor and disease of the rural Estonian mire.

I think it is a love story but I was too interested in the weirdness to pay any attention to that. Such a fun experience that I'm sure I'll never feel again with any film! Also, the main actress, Rea Lest, did a formidable job, you can see both wolves - the wild and the docile - in her eyes.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Weird and funny. I read the book right after the first minutes, which is even better.

Enchanting. The plot was circuitous at best, but the cinematography and quirky dialogue kept me engaged.

There was nothing about this I didn't love the first time I watched it, and the more times I watch it the more I love it.

Undeniably beautiful imagery and cinematography, but ultimately a bit too unfocused and ponderous which made it a bit of a slog to get through.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Wonderful gothic fairy tale. Haunting but amusing and silly at the same time, in this way it reminded me of The Seventh Seal. Many have criticised the overall plot as too straightforward, but who cares when there is so much tangential weirdness at play? Brilliant soundtrack to boot.
