Summary Fearlessly following one couple's descent from the giddy high of new love into the inevitable mire of everyday routine, Flannel Pajamas is that rare film that dares to feature characters as endearing and messy as those that inhabit our real lives. (Gigantic Pictures)

So truly and exceptionally fine, a spiny and dispassionate little masterpiece of a marriage movie.
By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW

Mr. Lipsky’s screenplay, a messy collection of fragments arranged chronologically, adds up to one of the most intimate screen portraits of a relationship ever attempted.

You never really end up rooting for their happiness, as a couple or individually, so emotionally there's not much at stake.

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

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

For much of Flannel Pajamas I wondered if the couple's big problem was that Stuart was secretly gay. Nothing so interesting - he's just a narcissistic control freak and she's off-puttingly needy.
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW

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