Watch Sweet November For Free

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Let's be realistic.

A Brilliant Conflict

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

There are very few romantic drama/comedies where the two characters part in anything like this way, nor does the illness of the Theron character get revealed until the middle of the film. Certainly, the approach of the Theron character to her life is very unusual. Charlize Theron brings on her charm, and Keanu Reeves turns in a surprisingly worthy performance in a movie that's as light as a fall breeze. Yes, the way in which the two develop their romance is a bit tough to swallow at first, but if you can ignore that and allow their growing relationship to touch your heart, then the movie succeeds on those terms. It seems preposterous, but with a movie like this, the events come in such an order that you can forgive these little pitfalls. Their budding romance really does have a kick to it, and despite the outside criticism, Theron and Reeves do have some good on screen chemistry that lights up the screen in moments and provides for some very touching moments.The film also has a lot of warm-hearted laughs. A scene in which Sara stands outside Nelson's apartment and begins shouting risqué comments at people in order to gain his attention will have you chuckling, while her neighbors, two homosexuals who host a dinner party for the four of them in drag, are a riot. And the overall sweet nature of the relationship between the two is something to smile about, as well as shed a few tears over. In one of his better roles, Keanu Reeves is convincingly emotional as Nelson. In the beginning, her perfectly portrays the egotistical attitude and outlook of his character, and then makes a very believable segue to someone who is so in love he is willing to change his whole life. Charlize Theron is, as always, a gem, bringing a touch of warmth and cheerfulness to her role as Sara. Her acting embodies her character with the zest for life needed to sell us on Sara's motives, and Theron captures that completely. It met all of my expectations, which were few, but the fact that it met them is enough to recommend the film! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Yes the movie discusses somewhat 'normal' story-line. But the presentation made it different. Kudos to the director, editor and the actors. It shares situations like a fairy tale.surely romance is the only thing that you can make you unreal. eyes talk a lot. even the pets have a role to prove the existence of love. illogical world of love is there always. at some point the character has to ask "have you been in sales?". what a dodging which is normally cannot be fit in romancing movies. but factually it is always there in real romance. power of eyes. what else.Being a pro, those 'professional values' to 'life values' made me to think. Time, dollar all have been touched nicely. even the way things are being presented in career are nicely portrayed. And how badly a professional confidence is disproved. there comes the different dimensions of pro and love. Love which is not mixed with $ or time can have a lot of confidence There are points which will make your eyes wet. its okay. life values are worth for a cry. there could have more connects with his childhood stories. may be then he can find himself in more natural way. also the obvious skin tone changes must have made more gradual. am i missed it? is that really great? !! anyway I think the dark circles could have lighten. slow means more natural.So briefly, good romance. good ending. good course for 'professionals' from 'life'. Kudos to the creators

Sweet November (2001): Dir: Pat O'Connor / Cast: Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Jason Isaacs, Liam Aiken, Lauren Graham: Dreary depressing pill romance about that faithful day in November when workaholic Keanu Reeves is forced to live with Charlize Theron for an entire month so that she may change his outlook on life. Soon her illness surfaces leading to a depraved ending. Directed by Pat O'Connor who also made the miserable Inventing the Abbotts. Who did he wrong in order to be stuck with those two awful titles on his resume? The ending is totally predictable so feel free to beat yourself over the head with a bag of rocks. The film also asks an age old question. What is Theron attempting here anyway? She could lug in Jack the Ripper for all she knows. Why doesn't she do a crossword puzzle on the back of a cereal box instead. She plays the biggest stupidest idiot of any romantic film while Reeves plays a complete moron who will predictably come to love this woman rather than pass time by firing darts at pictures of her. Jason Isaacs plays Theron's cross-dressing friend who is there for support. One might say she would need it after starring in trash such as this. This becomes an example as to why males often hate going to date movies because junk like this reduces one's intelligence. Great locations cannot save this pathetic and manipulative snot rag story. Score: 3 / 10

I don't even remember how many times I have looked this lovely movie and every time I'm experiencing a huge delight and flight of my soul. Charlize Theron is incredibly beautiful woman and startling actress, just to look at her it's already great delectation. "Sweet September" is prettily story about love, about life and cost of its every moment. Someone will think this film too sad, someone too sweet, but for me it's very life-asserting and inspiring story after which you just ready to fall in love to any stranger on the street and it's inexpressible feeling. I have seen a lot of similar films, such as "Autumn in New York", "Griffin & Phoenix", "The Notebook" and others, but in my opinion "Sweet September" is the best. Sara Deever changed my life too!!!
