November 2018 Film Preview

"Widows": Merrick Morton/20th Century Fox

As the weather gets cooler, it’s the perfect time to spend an evening indoors with a great flick. And November promises a wide selection of women-centric and women-made films for just that occasion, including some much-anticipated blockbusters, documentaries, and even a holiday movie or two.

The month starts off with a slew of documentaries that are sure to captivate. An Independent Spirit Award nominee, Shevaun Mizrahi’s “Distant Constellation” (November 2) is a delightful portrait of some very colorful characters. Shot over six years with a one-woman crew, the film takes an intimate look at the community members in an Istanbul retirement home. Another November 2 release also paints an intimate portrait, this time of film legend Ingmar Bergman. Director Margarethe von Trotta takes us into his mind in “Searching for Ingmar Bergman.” Later this month, Shraysi Tandon’s “Invisible Hands” (November 23) gives audiences a closer look at the realities of child trafficking and labor, and confronts the systems of power that have done little to stop these barbaric practices.

November also brings some great independent pictures to the big screen. What started as a pilot writer-star Charlene deGuzman sent to Mark Duplass in a Twitter exchange soon turned into a feature-length film. “Unlovable” (November 1) is a touching and unique story of addiction, heartbreak, and connection. Carly Stone’s feature directorial debut, “The New Romantic” (November 9), is another indie release, and truly a tale for the Millennial and Gen-Z era: What does one do when they graduate from college with a mountain of debt and no clear life path?

For those seeking more drama, catch Rosamund Pike as the heroic real-life war correspondent Marie Colvin in “A Private War” (November 2). Meanwhile, Claire Foy takes on the role of Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” (November 9), the iconic badass created by novelist Stieg Larsson. Then comes “Widows” (November 16), a gripping story of four women who are forced together after the deaths of their criminal husbands. Written by Gillian Flynn and director Steve McQueen, this heist film stars Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, and Cynthia Erivo. One of the most anticipated releases of the year, “If Beale Street Could Talk” (November 30) is an adaptation of James Baldwin’s novel of the same name and tells the love story of Tish Rivers (KiKi Layne) and Fonny Hunt (Stephan James), and how their lives are forever changed when Fonny is falsely imprisoned.

If you’re looking for a film more suitable for a post-Thanksgiving feast, November promises a number of blockbusters fit for the whole family. Disney brings a classic ballet to life in “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” (November 2). The live-action story follows Clara (Mackenzie Foy) as she goes on an adventure into the Four Realms, meeting a cast of beloved characters like the toy soldier (Jayden Fowora-Knight) and the Sugar Plum Fairy (Keira Knightley). Another big release delves back into the beloved fantasy world crafted by J.K. Rowling. “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” (November 16), the sequel to the 2016 release, sees Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) taking on a powerful dark force at the request of Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law).

Here are all of the women-centric, women-directed, and women-written films debuting in November. All descriptions are from press materials unless otherwise noted.
