"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." Bilge Ebiri/New York Magazine

"This funny and charming slice-of-life tale has the spirit of a low-fi ’70s romantic comedy, complete with characters who resonate as authentic inhabitants of their particular time and place." Nick Schager/The Daily Beast

"Duplass is careful to make a film where it’s up to the people involved to make Christmas a special occasion, rather than relying on the genre’s traditional trappings. In that regard, “The Baltimorons” has something to celebrate." Steven Saito/Variety

"It’s an incredibly funny, genuinely moving character study that’s not explicitly “about” anything but these two lovely people." Brian Tallerico/Roger Ebert
