In November 2015, a series of unprecedented and deadly attacks hits Paris. The anti-terrorist police led by Heloise (Sandrine Kiberlain) and her chief commander Fred (Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin) face an unprecedented level of pressure: in a race against the clock, they must find the perpetrators of the attacks as quickly as possible before they can strike again, travelling across Europe and beyond in one of the biggest manhunts in history.

Ryan Gilbey

Guardian

As a thriller, November is slick, functional and rather hollow. As a PR exercise for French law enforcement, it’s exemplary.

Rated: 2/5

David Stratton

The Australian

With its pounding music score (by Guillaume Roussel), sweeping camerawork (Nicolas Loir) and skilful editing (Laure Gardette), November is devastatingly effective on its chosen level.

Rated: 4/5

Sydney Morning Herald

It seems crass to describe November as a thriller. Its meticulous disdain for false heroics makes its integrity as remarkable as the brilliance with which it’s been put together.

Rated: 4.5/5

EscribiendoCine

While the movie is entertaining and keeps the audience in suspense, it lacks the depth and emotional impact necessary to transcend its status as an action thriller. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

It’s all powerful, potent stuff, that in Hollywood’s hands would not doubt have been a very different, more action-orientated movie, but under the guidance of Jimenez, remains resolutely under-stated...

Rated: 4/5

Deadline Hollywood Daily

[November] doesn’t offer any new insights into what happened, and neither does it dwell on that. What’s good about it is that reflects on lessons learned, giving credit where it’s due, but it also isn’t afraid to find fault.

A compelling and interesting movie that explores the November 2015 Paris attacks.

The nervous style of the director did not help to understand who we arrest and where it exactly leads us in the middle of the pursuit of the terrorists. We only see this at the end with the final panel including photos of each suspects, under red threads, connecting them or not. Why not have this regularly throughout the film ? The only character in the story who is really endearing, convincing and interesting is played by Anais Demoustier. The others failed to be really convincing with their emotions and the very thin personnal history that is presented to us. This movie tried (but failed) to be too factual for a sadly too human catastrophe.

Cela fait bizarre de voir un film avec des évènements contemporains a notre époque, un moment désastreux pour la France, et le monde en général, Jean Dujardin parfait dans ce rôle, Film retraçant les évènement du mois de novembre, romancé et moins violent,

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Don

An extraordinary thriller. The premise is as described, the French security services dealing with the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks at the Bataclan and various other venues. The style is more-or-less film noir; the pace rapid and unrelenting: the tone brutal; the characterisations real and human. I really felt immersed in the story. It's an extraordinary experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
