	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'Sweet November' passes off pathological behavior as romantic bliss (...) Reeves at least has the grace to look intensely uncomfortable during several scenes (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Desson Howe The Washington Post	"Should have been called Cloying November"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The woozy weightlessness of the story has a near-narcotic effect. You can almost feel the brain cells dying."
		Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"A love story with all the life-and-death intensity of a heat rash (...)
		Philip French The Guardian	"If there's anything worse than an unnecessary remake of a good film it's the unnecessary remake of a bad film."
		William Thomas Empire	"Unfortunately, the love story here is so completely unconvincing, that it’s hard to care what happens to either of them (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
