Critiques:
"Neither a masterpiece nor a remake of one, but its wistfulness is infectious, and its melancholy mood lingers for days." Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"Nice to look at but too calculated and clich�d to resonate beyond its surface slickness." Loren King, Chicago Tribune
"The sweetest thing about Sweet November (a remake of the 1968 movie) is the on-screen magic between Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves. But that's pretty much where the magic ends." David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor
It's a small film, and a far from perfect one, but it allows her (Theron) to extend her range as no previous role has done. Jay Carr, Boston Globe
