I was very hesitant to rent "November". I had heard many mixed things about, and was afraid that the film would amount to nothing. I was pleasantly surprised to find an intelligent, creepy, and ultimately profound piece that plays to the strengths of the medium. Like the equally underrated "High Tension", "November" is a great example of how a film can manipulate us in the most shocking ways, yet still give us fascinating ideas to think about.
Courtney Cox is excellent in a change of pace from 'Friends'. She is solid, sympathetic, and a wonderful protagonist. Once these strange things begin to happen to her character, you root for her to get to the bottom of it all. Her chemistry with James LeGros is perfect, making the story all the more effective and tragic. A wonderful film all around. If you are a fan of David Lynch and/or abstract storytelling, give this one a try. It's worth your time.
