Thriller. Drama 5 days into the heart of the French anti-terrorism services during the hunt for suspects after the 13 november 2015 attacks in Paris.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Gritty and suspenseful at times, banal and bureaucratic at others, 'November' is France’s answer to 'Zero Dark Thirty' so much as a one-dimensional salute to French efficiency"
		David Stratton The Australian	"With its pounding music score, sweeping camerawork and skilful editing, 'Novembre' is devastatingly effective on its chosen level (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"While the source material is inherently fascinating, 'November' may take built-in confusion a step too far for many viewers beyond France"
		Davide Abbatescianni Cineuropa	"All of the characters – with the slight exceptions of one of the police’s informants and Demoustier’s role – are underdeveloped and fail to forge an empathic bond with the viewers"
		Damon Wise Deadline	"'Novembre' doesn’t offer any new insights into what happened, and neither does it dwell on that. What’s good about it is that reflects on lessons learned"
		Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald	"Its meticulous disdain for false heroics makes its integrity as remarkable as the brilliance with which it’s been put together (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"The kind of thriller that’s so caught up in its breathless, relentless race against the clock, it never fully stops to consider what it’s trying to say"
		Ryan Gilbey The Guardian	"'Novembre' is slick, functional and rather hollow (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
