15 Films to See in November
In a month filled with potential best picture nominees (most notably, Manchester by the Sea and Arrival), potential blockbusters (like Doctor Strange, Disney's Moana, and Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), and intriguing works by auteurs like Tom Ford, Warren Beatty, and Paul Verhoeven, there should be no shortage of films to see in theaters. Check out the 15 most promising titles headed to the big screen in November in the gallery below.
After the success of A Single Man, writer-director-fashion mogul Tom Ford has waited seven years to release his second film. The Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival indicates it was time well spent. This adaptation of Austin Wright’s novel Tony and Susan intertwines two separate narrative strands. In one, Susan Morrow (Amy Adams), a Los Angeles art dealer, receives a novel written by her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal) titled Nocturnal Animals. As she reads the novel, Ford dramatizes the action, a violent tale of revenge about a husband and father (also Gyllenhaal) whose wife (Isla Fisher) and daughter (Ellie Bamber) are kidnapped as the family drives across West Texas. As these stories play out, Ford also utilizes flashbacks to reveal Susan and Tony’s past romance.
