What to Know

Critics Consensus

Schmaltzy and manipulative, Sweet November suffers from an implausible plot and non-existent chemistry between its leads.

Sweet November | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal Reeves gets the cloddishness right. In a regression from his good performance in The Gift, he keeps waving his arms like a cop directing traffic. Feb 5, 2018 Full Review Sweet November | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Paul Tatara CNN.com Any movie in which a dying person dons a rainbow-colored fright wig is in serious trouble. But if it also stars Keanu Reeves, well, welcome to the 10-worst list.

Ionela C My favorite cancer movie ever Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review dmwreath d what a disgusting load of hippy horse crap! whose idea was this movie? some sort of really rich hippy free love cultist? Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Michael V While the movie is a sugarcoated romance I deeply feel that this movie is made in such a way that it feels one dimensional, i have no doubt that this was meant to be exactly like that. The charachter that Charlize Theron portaits is enjoying her moment in the now, while she is ignoring any negative aspect in her life, its the only way possible to enjoy that life, those beautiful moments, in a bubble. To my opinion this movie is highly underrated and is a masterpiece, but only once you understand that deeper essence of this magnificent movie you will understand that. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Faustino M Wonderful movie. Certainly my second favorite movie after Gladiator. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/23 Full Review Gary H It's obvious Rotten Tomato critics are 85% Liberals. Yes, that is an accurate assessment. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/22 Full Review Audience Member One of my all time favorites ❤ Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
