November has something for everyone on PVOD, and everyone could use an escape this particular November for, well, reasons. Here are the best new movies coming to your living room this month.

Directed by Ali Abbasi, 122 minutes.

It’s no coincidence that this man comes home just four days before the most important election of your life. This is the controversial story of Donald Trump, charting his rise from ordinary real estate mogul in the 70s to the king of New York in the 80s. Basically it’s a riff on Frankenstein with Jeremy Strong’s Roy Cohn playing the good doctor to Sebastian Stan’s monster. Abbasi’s film shows how Trump took Cohn’s philosophy and built his entire personality on it, including elements like refusing to admit defeat and fighting long after you’ve lost.

Directed by Aaron Shimberg, 112 minutes.

Double Stan! It’s even better here than here StudentA very different Sebastian Stan plays a man with neurofibromatosis who undergoes a radical procedure to look like the Winter Soldier instead. Of course, he learns that our inner character does not change along with our outer appearance, a truth demonstrated by the appearance of the phenomenal Adam Pearson as a man so charming and comfortable in his own skin that he carries all of the film’s themes home. Pearson just received a Gotham Award nomination this week, hoping to kick off an awards season that will bring him the attention he deserves.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, 138 minutes.

One of the most beloved directors of all time finally brought his dream project to the screen in 2024… and it absolutely scared people. Having spent more than $100 million of his own money on it, Coppola envisions a future in which an architect (Adam Driver) can stop time and change reality—not unlike a director. Topics Megapolis are undeniably messy and some of the acting is laughable, but you have to admire the dedication to excellence on the part of everyone involved. Coppola takes wild, huge turns in the film and often misses the mark, but it’s nice to know that there are artists who are still willing to throw themselves into the fray.

Directed by Jason Reitman, 109 minutes

Director In the air The outline is roughly 100 minutes before the premiere episode of the most influential television show in history: Saturday Night Live. Gabriel LaBelle (ur.Fabelmans) plays the uptight Lorne Michaels, who tries to unite his unready-for-prime-time players into a cohesive unit before the cameras roll. Corey Michael Smith, Lamorne Morris, Nicholas Braun, Cooper Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, Matthew Rhys and many others make up a huge ensemble of people playing some of the most famous comic characters of all time.

Directed by Parker Finn, 127 minutes.

The rare horror sequel that’s better than the original, Parker Finn’s follow-up to his surprise hit is more ambitious, terrifying and successful. One reason for this is Naomi Scott’s stunning performance as a pop singer who is terrorized by what is essentially an emotional parasite, a supernatural force that feeds on fear, trauma, anxiety and mental illness. Playing with deeper themes about how people own pop stars, Finn doesn’t just repeat the beats of the first film, but finds new avenues to explore. And Scott is fearless through it all, delivering one of the most effective horror performances of the decade.

Directed by Damien Leone, 125 minutes.

Bring Art the Clown to your Thanksgiving party! He has rats! The third film about the sociopathic clown shares many of the previous film’s pros and cons – killer makeup effects and great performances, drowning in a repetitive movie with a story you can’t help but think about – but there’s more than enough for fans of this surging film. franchise. Horror the films have become an interesting counterpoint to “sublime horror”, explorations of pure gore that get on the nerves of people who just want to see the crazy shit in the genre. This definitely scratches that itch.

Directed by John Crowley, 118 minutes.

Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh star in this touching romantic drama with unexpected twists and turns. The trick here is that their love story is told out of chronological order, moving back and forth from the early days of their relationship, from starting a family to her cancer diagnosis, in an order that could be described as more emotional than traditional. The shuffle makes some of the clichés easier to understand, but the real reason this is worth a PVOD rental is simple: Garfield and Pugh Rules. In particular, the man who has played Spider-Man three times (so far) has one of the most effective “sad faces” in movie history.
