- TriviaBefore the release, there was a controversy because the character of the witness wears a hijab in the movie, which is not the case of the actual witness. So she sued the production and won, which is why the movie states at the end "Having the character of Samia wear a hijab is a stylistic choice that does not reflect the personal convictions of the person concerned".

Featured review
November is a gripping thriller that provides a poignant look into how French law enforcement responded to the unprecedented 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. The depiction is candid, showing both the brutality and horror resulting from these events and instances of bravery displayed by those involved in responding to them. The movie's foundation consisting of real facts and testimonies results in actors delivering powerful performances throughout its runtime.
Director Cedric Jimenez maintains an engaging atmosphere throughout his work. He kept me invested until the credits rolled while raising important issues surrounding terrorism, security measures, and civil liberties with conviction and balance - an approach we need given the complex world we live in today - without oversimplifying them for audiences seeking concrete answers/solutions during these difficult times.
Be warned: graphic scenes may upset some people; therefore, viewer discretion is advised. One also needs to pay attention due to its fast-paced intricate plot, which demands focus throughout. November isn't exactly what one might call a 'light' film. Clocking in at two hours, November is an intense and often dense experience that may prove too much for some viewers.
November is not a film that caters to those seeking quick fixes or easy answers. Little context or backstory is given, which may leave some confused or unsatisfied. All that said, though, November is a powerful and compelling work that honours both the victims AND heroes of the Paris attacks in 2015 while reflecting on the wider societal implications of such atrocities. The movie offers a realistic portrayal of events without unnecessary dramatisation, making it all the more vibrant. Although some parts may be difficult to watch (i.e., graphic scenes), I recommend checking out November if you're interested in this subject matter.
