      The depth of the story and the characters is awfully slight to bear the weight of such fancy editing. But the performances are crisp and in focus, with Cox in particular showing a photogenic feel for expressing grief.

      Film Threat

      Tries to be a lot of things within its 78 minute running time, succeeding marvelously at some while crashing and burning on others.

      The A.V. Club

      Feels more like a clever student short that got out of hand than the Kafka-esque nightmare that director Greg Harrison (Groove) likely intended.

      The New York Times

      In the same way that a crossword puzzle tickles the mind without asking to be taken as literature, November plays games for the sake of game-playing. It also has a pretentious streak.

      The Hollywood Reporter

      Benjamin Brand's script never levels with a viewer.

      Village Voice

      Like a jigsaw that's more fun to assemble before you know how all the pieces fit, Greg Harrison's brain-teasing meta-thriller November is less compelling the more apparent its solution becomes.

      L.A. Weekly

      To their great credit, writer Benjamin Brand and director Greg Harrison weave these contradictory variations into an effective puzzle, if one that doesn't quite transcend being a puzzle - it never becomes a mystery, like, say, "Mulholland Drive," or even "The Sixth Sense."

      Los Angeles Times

      Increasingly perplexing film, which is more concerned with being clever than satisfying.
