Critic Reviews

Andrew O'Hehir

So truly and exceptionally fine, a spiny and dispassionate little masterpiece of a marriage movie. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Curiously, the film seems to have no discernible point, and yet -- this is practically unique -- the absence of a point becomes, in itself, a form of narrative interest. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The hero remains such an exhibitionistically cocky, walled-off jerk that Flannel Pajamas' glib conversational ''candor'' yields no mystery. And that's a problem in two hours of talk. Read full review

Bill White

In what essentially is a two-character play, Kirk and Nicholson behave more like acting partners than real people. Their lack of appetite for each other is particularly awkward in the frequent scenes requiring casual nudity and sexual activity. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Visually, the film is without flair or ambition, conveying no sense of atmosphere or mood. But the performances put it over. Read full review

Carina Chocano

For all the time we spend watching Justin and Nicole negotiate their needs, we have no idea who these people are. Read full review

Don R. Lewis

The thing is, these chatty, pedantic, annoying characters are simply not interesting enough to follow for five minutes, let alone over two hours. Read full review

"One of the wisest films I can remember about love and human intimacy. I will not forget it." Roger Ebert That about says it all.
