Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Yet the story manages to put a smile on your face from time to time, despite the gloom of its humor. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 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. Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Jake Coyle Associated Press 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.” Rated: 3/4 Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Mel Valentin That Shelf Far from essential viewing, The Baltimorons still manages to cross over into watchable territory, albeit with the aforementioned caveats. Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Michael Nordine Movie Brief Like a good Christmas present, The Baltimorons isn’t any less enjoyable just because it’s predictable. Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Zach Youngs InSession Film It’s funny, complicated, and not to be missed, especially if you like a Christmas romance. Rated: A Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/12/25 Full Review Ken Great story with many existential and relational overtones that were very thought-provoking. The movie was very engaging and fun to watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Sam Just saw this at an independent theatre in Baltimore and the crowd erupted in applause at the end. Very heartfelt, relatable, and hopeful. Wonderful performances by the leads. I was not familiar with Michael Strassner before but glad to be introduced to his work. He is so endearing in this film.
