Flannel Pajamas is so gorged with gab it feels like a filibuster.

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

Better to rent Scenes From a Marriage, Manhattan or My Dinner With Andre and stay home -- flannel pajamas optional.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

In his sophomore feature, Lipsky doesn't feel the need to pump the movie with showy visual tricks. You don't even know he's there most of the time, which is probably a compliment.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

Flannel Pajamas is a sharply observed dissection of a couple's relationship, from blind date to marriage to difficulties over everything from whether to get a dog to when to have a baby.

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This is all quite fascinating.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
