"The feel-good movie of 2025 has arrived."
— Kristy Puchko, Mashable
"Full of offbeat humor and genuine warmth, this well-told story is funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly simple."
— Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
"An underdog romance for an underdog city. Baltimoreans (or Baltimorons, if you prefer) will fall in love with it."
— Max Weiss, Baltimore Magazine
"Subverting tropes, the bittersweet and amusing saga resonates with heartfelt empathy for its setting and its characters."
— Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue
"Like The Puffy Chair and Cyrus, The Baltimorons is a charming and endearing throwback to mumblecore’s heyday, as well as the influential, gritty character studies of the 1970s."
— John Fink, The Film Stage
"A breezy, profoundly moving experience that, for 96 too-short minutes, sweeps you away into a world of romance and adventure that never seems anything less than authentic."
— Al Alexander, Movies Thru the Spectrum
"With two great performances and a pervading sense of warmth, that’s enough to make The Baltimorons one of the year’s best comedies, and in its own way, a new Christmas classic."
— Matthew Jackson, AV Club
"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
"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/Vulture
"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."
— Stephen Saito, Variety
"Bittersweet, tender and funny. If you're looking for a refreshingly un-Hollywood romantic dramedy, look no further than The Baltimorons. It's a great comfort movie and deserves to become a new Christmas classic much like The Holdovers."
— Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
