November is a psychological thriller film first screened at film
festivals in 2004. It stars Courteney Cox as Sophie, a photographer
whose life begins to unravel following a traumatic incident on
November 7 that involved her boyfriend, played by James LeGros. In the
words of Cox, her character "goes through three phases. First there's
denial. Then she feels guilty and sad about the situation. Then she
has to learn to accept it." The film co-stars Michael Ealy as a
co-worker of Sophie's, Nora Dunn as her psychiatrist, and Anne Archer
as her mother. Nick Offerman plays a police officer investigating the
incident, while Matthew Carey has a role as a robber of a convenience
store. Directed by Greg Harrison, it was released to theatres in the
United States by Sony Pictures Classics on July 22, 2005, and while
its award-winning digital video photography was praised, many reviews
criticised the film's story for being too ambiguous and derivative of
other pictures. Critics have compared it to the work of film-makers
such as David Lynch and M. Night Shyamalan.
