The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

November is about the coldness of a society ruled by so called adults. A middle- aged, quite average Swiss couple is divided even further than perceivable at first glance when the mother breaks out of her patriarchal cage after she wins millions in the lottery jackpot. A frailty that comes quite unexpected seems to destroy the jealous husband after he realizes that he is not the one that will decide on the family's future anymore. Soaked in by their own marital problems, they neglect the wishes of their 12-year old daughter. Although towards the end there are some hints to how the family could grow back together again, the film follows the most tragic turn possible (that we are already presented with in the beginning). Luki Frieden achieves in creating a desolate, but authentic Swiss setting that sometimes, by means of light and camera work, turns into a fairy tale story. We follow the characters' wishes and dreams with a feeling close to flying, even if the presentiment of some tragic twist is lurking around every corner.Apart from the sometimes too oppressing mood of the film, Frieden introduces a Swiss film that could actually attract viewers outside of Switzerland. Especially the dialogues have a fresh touch, not resembling the stumbling and constructed dialogues of most other Swiss films. Congrats!
