- 67Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe depth of the story and the characters is awfully slight to bear the weight of such fancy editing. But the performances are crisp and in focus, with Cox in particular showing a photogenic feel for expressing grief.
- 60Film ThreatFilm ThreatTries to be a lot of things within its 78 minute running time, succeeding marvelously at some while crashing and burning on others.

- 60The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenIn the same way that a crossword puzzle tickles the mind without asking to be taken as literature, November plays games for the sake of game-playing. It also has a pretentious streak.

- 50Village VoiceMark HolcombVillage VoiceMark HolcombLike a jigsaw that's more fun to assemble before you know how all the pieces fit, Greg Harrison's brain-teasing meta-thriller November is less compelling the more apparent its solution becomes.
