91 new Netflix movies are arriving in November – here are 3 with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes you should stream first

The closer we get to Christmas, the more Netflix is pulling out all the stops to make sure we're well fed when it comes to new movies.November has a whopping 91 titles to choose from, ranging from one-off comedy specials to the big blockbusters we've all been waiting for. On top of that, we've got classic titles making their streaming platform return, from all three Back to the Future movies to Timothée Chalamet's all singing, all dancing Wonka.For me, the biggest excitement lies in the Netflix Originals. I don't think the streamer has put a foot wrong when it comes to original projects this year, but November has some of my most-anticipated.In fact, I think you need to watch these three new Netflix movies more than you need to rush out and buy early Christmas presents for your loved ones.FrankensteinRT score: 95% (fan score)Director: Guillermo Del ToroRuntime: 149 minutesAge rating: RArriving on: November 7I'm pretty mad with my fellow critics that Frankenstein doesn't have a higher Rotten Tomatoes score (currently, it's sitting at 85%), because Del Toro's latest outing is nothing short of a masterpiece.Everything you see, from the smallest details to the largest set pieces, has been created by hand. Del Toro has been outspoken in his war against AI in moviemaking, and the amount of love poured into Frankenstein (something he has said multiple times is his childhood dream come true) makes it all the more mesmerizing.There's a larger focus on love than fear compared to the original Mary Shelley novel, but the level of intimate tenderness opens up a whole new dimension to the story we all know so well. Jacob Elordi will likely be in awards contention, though I think the set is just as much of a character as any of its cast.Train DreamsRT score: 96% Director: Clint BentleyRuntime: 102 minutesAge rating: PG-13Arriving on: November 21Out of all of my picks, Train Dreams might be my favorite. Why? While I knew Frankenstein was going to blow me away, I was bowled over in surprise by how moved I was by Clint Bentley's vision for industrialized America.Following the fictional life of lumberjack Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), we're transported through his eyes from life to death, living all of his hardships and heartbreaks along the way. For a man living in remote wilderness in the early 1910s, boy did he suffer a lot of avoidable trauma.What really makes the movie sing is Joel Edgerton's portrayal of vulnerable masculinity. At a period of time where it was so important to be a man's man, he balances the bravado of his work with the tenderness and truly equal respect for his wife and daughter.He's not a saint, but the melodrama that follows him through life doesn't fail to make us question our own.Left-Handed GirlRT score: 97% Director: Shih-Ching TsouRuntime: 108 minutesAge rating: RArriving on: November 28If you've wondered what director Sean Baker was going to do after his Academy Award winning hit Anora, look no further. This time, he's co-written, edited and produced Left-Handed Girl, a Taiwanese drama following a single mother and her two daughters opening a restaurant in Taipei.It's the Netflix hit that nobody saw coming, though with Baker and director Shih-Ching Tsou at the helm, we shouldn't have been too surprised. We see this shift in the trio's life through the eyes of the youngest daughter, giving new meaning to the most menial of tasks.However, it also adds a layer of unknown curiosity when family secrets begin to unravel. Our young guide is left-handed, which is referred to as the "devil hand" by the rest of her family. Things get more complicated by the minute, and we're fully transported for every twist and turn.All new Netflix movies in November 2025 Arriving on November 1A Very Vintage ChristmasAce Ventura: Pet DetectiveAce Ventura: When Nature CallsBaby DriverBack to the FutureBack to the Future Part IIBack to the Future Part IIICharlie's AngelsCrazy Rich AsiansDear SantaDoctor SleepDon't Worry DarlingDr. DolittleDr. Dolittle 2ElvisFrances HaGame NightHappy ChristmasThe HangoverThe Hangover: Part IIThe Hangover: Part IIII Know What You Did Last SummerIn the HeightsIsn't It RomanticJudas and the Black MessiahJust MercyThe LEGO Movie 2: The Second PartLife of the PartyThe Little ThingsMerry Liddle ChristmasThe Nun IIOcean's 8Paddington 2The PatriotReady Player OneTenetThis Is the EndTyler Perry's A Madea ChristmasThe Way BackWonkaArriving on November 2King RichardThe OutfitArriving on November 3Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches In Waves and WarArriving on November 4Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable ThingArriving on November 5ElectionArriving on November 6Bride WarsArriving on November 7BaramullaFrankensteinGroom & Two BridesMangoA Holiday EngagementChristmas in the HeartlandLabyrinthMy Dad's Christmas DateArriving on November 8The Emoji MovieArriving on November 11Ghosting: The Spirit of ChristmasNo Sleep 'Til ChristmasSame Time, Next ChristmasArriving on November 12A Merry Little Ex-MasEloá the Hostage: Live on TVArriving on November 13Tee Yai: Born To Be BadMoulin Rouge!The SandlotArriving on November 14In Your DreamsLefter: The Story of The OrdinariusNouvelle VagueArriving on November 15A Royal Date for ChristmasA Sprinkle of ChristmasA Vineyard ChristmasBecoming SantaChristmas CasanovaEverybody's FineJust Like a Christmas MovieMeet Me at the Christmas Train ParadeRoyally Yours, This ChristmasArriving on November 17Blue BeetleZodiacSelena y Los DinosArriving on November 18Gerry Dee: Funny You Should Say ThatArriving on November 19Champagne ProblemsThe Son of a Thousand MenArriving on November 20The FolliesArriving on November 21One Shot with Ed SheeranTrain DreamsMarry ChristmasMistletoe MixupArriving on November 24Santa BootcampArriving on November 26Jingle Bell HeistArriving on November 27Aquaman and the Lost KingdomArriving on November 28Left-Handed GirlFollow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
