The Baltimorons

Reviews

• "THE BALTIMORONS is terrific and features an excellent mix of humor, sweetness, hijinks, hilarity, warmth, wistful melancholy, and charisma that’s off the charts, both in the actors and the movie itself."
  - The Playlist
• "While the film may embrace a low-budget, drab-naturalistic aesthetic, it’s far from dull. Duplass, Strassner, and Larsen brilliantly execute one of the year’s finest romantic comedies."
  - The Film Stage
• "Duplass and Strassner’s script traces the one-step-forward, two-steps-back progress of the main characters’ connection over the course of the night with delicacy, never stretching the boundaries of credibility."
  - The Hollywood Reporter
• "Duplass is careful to make a film where it’s up to the people involved to make Christmas a special occasion, rather than any relying on the genre’s traditional trappings. In that regard, THE BALTIMORONS has something to celebrate."
  - Variety
• "It’s light on its feet but gradually gathers real emotional weight. It’s also beautifully shot and steeped in atmosphere. We walk away from it feeling like we’ve actually been somewhere and felt something."
  - New York Magazine/Vulture
• "Fresh score. One of those little movies you might stumble across and be surprised that it hooks you. It does so despite -- or more likely because -- of its complete lack of flashiness or any self-evident attempt to “hook you.”"
  - Associated Press
• "It’s an incredibly funny, genuinely moving character study that’s not explicitly “about” anything but these two lovely people."
  - RogerEbert.com
• "An underdog romance for an underdog city. Baltimoreans (or Baltimorons, if you prefer) will fall in love with it."
