November brings plenty to be thankful for with a cornucopia of options for moviegoers, including (certainly ironically) multiple films about dining, including the foodie satire The Menu and the cannibal coming-of-age story Bones and All. (The latter of which won Best Director and Best Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival.)

This month will also see the release of more films off the festival circuit, such as Causeway, The Inspection, and My Policeman — all of which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival — as well as Steven Spielberg's crowd-pleasing The Fabelmans, which won TIFF's top prize.

And then there's Marvel's highly-anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which will be equal parts superheroic and heartfelt as it pays tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. Scroll on for more movies hitting theaters and streaming platforms this November.

Causeway

Having earned her first Oscar nomination for 2010's Winter's Bone, Jennifer Lawrence reconnects with her indie film roots playing a soldier who returns home from Afghanistan with a brain injury. As she struggles to readjust to civilian life, she finds an unexpected friend (played by Brian Tyree Henry). Causeway marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed theater director Lila Neugebauer.

My Policeman

Harry Styles stars as as Tom, a gay policeman in 1950s Britain, who is married to Marion (Emma Corrin) but secretly falling in love with Patrick (David Dawson). When the trio unexpectedly reunite decades later, they find that there may be a chance to repair the damage of the past. Michael Grandage is behind this adaptation of Bethan Roberts' novel.

Watch: On Amazon Prime Video Nov. 4.


Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Daniel Radcliffe portrays the parody singer/songwriter/accordion player in this biopic of Yankovic's life, which is itself a parody of the singer biopics that have come before.

Watch: On Roku Nov. 4.

With the kingdom in mourning following the death of its king, T'Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda must stand together to protect the nation from King Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and the undersea kingdom of Talokan.

The Wonder

Based on Emma Donoghue's 2016 novel of the same name, The Wonder stars Oscar nominee Florence Pugh as a 19th-century English nurse sent to investigate a religious miracle in the Irish countryside.

The Inspection

Writer and director Elegance Bratton channels his experience as a gay, Black man in the Marines into this autobiographical drama.

Watch: In theaters Nov. 18.


The Menu

A young couple, Margot and Tyler (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult), travel to a remote island for an exclusive restaurant run by an enigmatic chef (two-time Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes). But there's more in store for the wealthy guests than a tasting menu and wine pairings in this darkly comedic satire of foodie culture.

Watch: In theaters Nov. 18.


She Said

New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Megan Twohey (Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan) break the Harvey Weinstein story in She Said. As the journalists continue to investigate, they must also convince his victims to come forward and break the cycle of abuse.
