32 Films to See in November
If you think 2022 has given you all too few reasons to venture out to a movie theater—well, November is a different story. The month ahead will bring a massive haul of intriguing new titles, from potential blockbusters like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to likely Oscar contenders including Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans. There's also a chance to catch the new Knives Out sequel and a terrific new Guillermo Del Toro film on the big screen before they head to streaming.

Just the second documentary in the Venice Film Festival's 90-year history to take the top prize (the Golden Lion), the latest from Oscar winner Laura Poitras (Citizenfour) centers on artist Nan Goldin, and in particular, her ongoing protest against OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family. There's a connection between the family and the art world—they have long used some of their pharmaceutical riches to fund major museums—and Goldin, a recovering opioid addict herself, has focused her activism at those institutions. Poitras's film intertwines those efforts with compelling biographical information about Goldin's family life and art career.
Critics at Venice and Telluride were just as enamored of the result as the Venice jury, calling the film "devastating" and "incendiary." Look for Bloodshed to eventually air on HBO following its theatrical run (and likely several more awards).
