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.
Mel Gibson’s first directorial effort since 2006’s Apocalypto is based on the true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), who saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun at the bloody WWII battle of Okinawa. As an army medic, Doss became the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The controversial director’s obsessions—faith, violence, courage—are in abundance in this typically gory work.
