Too much of everything

Dreadfully Boring

Charming and brutal

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Imagine this my friends, Sandy Dennis in a quirky, mad capped, pseudo intellectual gab fast with strangers. Always maintaining a stuttering, breathless, staccato with bizarre non-sequitur observational quips, I already had my fill since viewing "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf"!!After watching the less quirky version with Reeves and Theron, I read the reviews that claimed this older incarnation was a much more truthful and honest version and I succumbed. What a stupid dolt!The icing on the cake was both the 7 sided box and Mr. December who had his coat sleeve attack him. Now that's pure comedy for like 1927? Who wrote this script, I loathe your crackpot efforts to define an era.Anyone with a serious fatal chronic illness would not just have a bit of a chill OUTSIDE in the winter, or have a few medications to hide. What a disservice to those who truly suffer from complications of an incurable disease and wanting to have close connections to those they love. This film is a complete bore and has absolutely no redeeming values. I even discount the NYC scapes.This woman cheats men, her landlords, and most of all herself. I guess that everyone deals with their mortality in different ways. I am very impressed with this young girls escapism and manipulation of others for her own agenda. Wonderful impact and role model for future generations. I mean the author has you feeling sorry for this sub-human. Absolutely no recommend for super tripe. blech

Sweet November is directed by Robert Ellis Miller, written by Herman Raucher and stars Sandy Dennis,Anthony Newley and Theodore Bikel.Sara Deever(Sandy Dennis)is a kooky, kind hearted woman who takes a different lover each month on the condition that the man will leave her once the month is over, no exceptions. Her lover in November is Charlie Blake(Anthony Newley)the month starts out as usual for her but soon both realise they are falling in love with each other.Sara keeps pushing him away and Charlie becomes desperate to find out why. When he learns the truth it about breaks his heart and he's even more desperate than before to get her to make an exception and let him stay longer than a month.Sandy Dennis gives the best performance of her career after Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf and captures the vulnerable and kooky aspects of Sara perfectly. Anthony Newly gives a fine performance as Charlie and it's a shame he didn't become a much bigger star after this or do more romance films, he was very talented and very handsome too.Sweet November is a beautiful love story it's funny, poignant and romantic. Well worth a watch.

I'm a guy who loves films, I also love poetry and for me this film is the perfect combination of both. I saw this film 15yrs ago and watch it every few years.Its a film that touches in so many ways, and for what plays as a romantic comedy the ending is one of the best endings for such a film.I hope Newly knew just how much of an abiding love people had for this film and for himself and Sandy.Its a shame they remade it, but the remake is a soulless travesty when set against the original. Sadly more people probably know the remake and will be put off watching the original. Quite simply in a quiet, dignified way I think this is one of the best films ever made.

I caught this movie only because i was trying to find something on tv and i saw the title online. So i watched it and it was great. It was a little slow in the beginning, but the storyline of the movie makes it well worth the wait. I had no idea what this movie was about, the only thing i knew was the little premise i saw under the title and i glad i didnt know because the secret of the movie is what makes the whole thing great. I like the way they were able to show a quirky girl and why she acts so strange. The whole thing seems odd, but once you learn the truth you think, "i understand now". The ending of the movie is what is pretty sad. While watching the movie, i thought to myself, i cant believe hollywood hasnt done a remake, well they are doing a remake. I am sorry to say that keanu "no acting" reeves and charlize theron are cast as the leads. This sucks. Keanu is handsome,but i dont think he could do the part justice. As for charlize, i cant see her as sara no way. Oh well. I dont think the remake will be able to stand up to this good film. Now i have to wait until god knows when to tape the movie, if i would have known it was hard to locate, i would have taped it. anyway, if you cant see it, try to see the remake. i am not really sure who i think would be a good charlie, but i think a good sara would be calista flockhart.
