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.
Based on the true story of Saroo Brierley, the debut feature for director Garth Davis (Top of the Lake) stars Dev Patel as Brierley, who at 5-years-old found himself lost in Calcutta. Unable to find his family, Brierley was adopted by an Australian couple, portrayed in the film by Nicole Kidman and David Wenham. Twenty-five years later, Brierley began his search for his family back in India. While The Weinstein Company might have Slumdog Millionaire aspirations for the film, critics aren’t heaping quite as much praise on this Indian orphan story, but it does have its strong supporters.
