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.
Good reviews and huge international box office numbers from its first week of release bode well for Marvel’s latest. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Deliver Us from Evil), the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a surgeon who, after damaging his hands in a car accident, seeks a cure in Kathmandu and finds the Ancient One, a master of mysticism played by Tilda Swinton. After facing early controversy over its casting, this 14th official Marvel Universe film has earned praise for its visual audacity but not its too-familiar origin story.
