Kristy Puchko Mashable The feel-good movie of 2025 has arrived. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It’s an incredibly funny, genuinely moving character study that’s not explicitly “about” anything but these two lovely people. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Variety 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. Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios The film is comfortable leaving many narrative loose ends, but not in a way that leaves you asking more questions than answers. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Full of offbeat humor and genuine warmth, this well-told story is funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly simple. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Gerald Peary Arts Fuse The Baltimorons is fairly funny, a bit slim. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Barry W Just saw it at Nevada City Film Festival with my wife. It is a fresh, well written and extremely well acted rom-com. Michael Strassner and, especially for me, Liz Larsen pick you up and take you for a wonderful ride. There are no politically correct or politically incorrect elements. Just two very real humans being human. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Nancy N Ouray International Film Festival a few days ago. Wow! Such a fun and quirky, yet deep film. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Sam F I saw this on the opening night of the Chicago Critics Film Festival. It was pretty much everything I would have expected from a well-made indie rom-com, and a bit more. I must mention that I am an indie film fan and movies like this are a rare and endangered species, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see it in a theater. Duplass did a good job of keeping things moving from one unexpected Baltimore adventure to the next, and that helped keep it from seeming overly talky and focused on the two leads, who were nearly the whole movie until a third major character entered the picture three-fourths of the way through. A few of the situations seemed a bit implausible in their details, but these passed quickly. The score was perfect, reminding me of the warm, jazzy Christmas-y piano in Whit Stillman's classic movie Metropolitan. The audience in the packed Music Box Theater laughed loudly and often, and I think that says a lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
