Here are the films to see this month, including the second instalment of Wicked, a new Knives Out mystery and several potential Oscar contenders.

The Running Man is one of the dystopian novels that Stephen King wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Another of those novels, The Long Walk, was made into a film earlier this year, and The Running Man itself was turned into a vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987. But the dark new version, directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Last Night in Soho), is far more faithful to the King/ Bachman book. Its hero, played by Glen Powell, is an ordinary family man who is so desperate for money that he agrees to participate in a deadly television game show. The deal is that he will win a fortune if he survives for 30 days, but in the meantime he will be chased all over the US by highly trained killers. Wright told Entertainment Weekly that he hopes his film "is both entertaining and powerful in equal measure. I think, as science fiction, it's disturbingly relevant to where we're at today. Maybe more timely than we'd like, or that we could even imagine."

Released internationally from 6 to 14 November

When the Nuremberg war crime trials began after World War Two, the Nazi defendants were interviewed by US psychiatrists to determine whether they were mentally fit to take the stand. The most significant of these defendants was Hitler's second-in-command, Hermann Göring. In James Vanderbilt's historical drama, adapted from a novel by Jack El-Hai, Rami Malek plays Douglas Kelley, the chief psychiatrist, and Russell Crowe plays the unrepentant Göring, who hopes to bluff his way out of the death penalty. Michael Shannon and Richard E Grant co-star as the US and British officers who ensured that the trials went ahead, but Malek and Crowe are the film's magnetic centre. Nuremberg is "a remarkable feat of film-making and acting", says Pete Hammond in Deadline. "This is a fascinating and urgently important story that has not been told on film before… [and] these two Oscar-winning actors go toe to toe in a thrilling chess match."

Released on 7 November in the US, 14 November in the UK and Ireland, and 27 November in New Zealand

The Worst Person in the World (2021) was one of the most adored films of recent years. Chronicling several years in a young woman's life in Oslo, it was a sparkling Norwegian comedy drama starring Renate Reinsve and directed by Joachim Trier. Now the team has reunited for Sentimental Value. Reinsve plays a successful actress, and Stellan Skarsgård plays her father, an egotistical director who hopes to revive his ailing career by signing her up for his next film. When she refuses, he hires a Hollywood star (Elle Fanning) to take her place, which complicates their fraught relationship even further. "Trier has once again crafted a film that is graceful and limber, thoughtful and surprising," says Richard Lawson in Vanity Fair. "Sentimental Value is another rich and humane look at existence from a film-maker wise to the endless nuance of being a person in the world."

In Die, My Love, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson play Grace and Jackson, a passionately devoted young couple who move to a secluded house in the countryside, not far from where Jackson's parents live. When they're not tearing each other's clothes off, Grace and Jackson have the time to focus on their writing and their music without any distractions, so it sounds like a dream scenario. But beware, the film is directed by Lynne Ramsay, the maker of We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here, which means that the dream could well become a nightmare. Sure enough, once Grace has a baby, and Jackson starts working away from home for days at a time, Grace spirals into frustrated fury. "Working with co-writers Alice Birch and Enda Walsh, Ramsay has crafted a work that is........
