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 Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com Lost souls connect in bittersweet romance that avoids genre cliches. Rated: 3/4 Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Michael Cook KLRT-TV This is a lovely, sweet, holiday film with good people just trying to do their best. The chemistry between Liz Larsen and Michael Strassner is fantastic. Rated: 9/10 Nov 1, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy Effortlessly charming, warm, and funny, The Baltimorons is one of the best underdog surprises of 2025. Rated: 88/100 Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

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.
