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

Top CriticBetter to rent Scenes From a Marriage, Manhattan or My Dinner With Andre and stay home -- flannel pajamas optional.
03/22/07
Top CriticIn 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.
03/02/07
Top CriticFlannel 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.
02/22/07
Top CriticThis is all quite fascinating.
02/02/07
Top Critic[Star Julianne] Nicholson does remarkable work in an unsympathetic role, helped by [director Jeff] Lipsky's fine control of his characters.
12/01/06
Top CriticIt's as close to what the disintegration of a real-life relationship looks like as you'll ever see onscreen.
12/01/06
Top CriticSometimes a movie improves on second viewing and I liked Flannel Pajamas better when I screened it again.
11/30/06
Top CriticMr. Lipsky needs more than two hours -- and many highly articulate conversations -- to get his co-protagonists to the breaking point. Yet the warning signs are there from the beginning.
11/29/06
Top CriticFor all the time we spend watching Justin and Nicole negotiate their needs, we have no idea who these people are.
11/24/06
Top CriticThere are moments in Jeff Lipsky's low-budget, high-octane battle of the sexes, when Stuart ... and Nicole ... dredge up a grubby intimacy that most relationship dramas avoid.
11/23/06
Top CriticEver been on a blind date that you knew would be dismal from the start? Well, this is the movie version of that date, stretched out over the slowest two hours imaginable.
11/17/06
Top CriticFlannel Pajamas has wonderful acting, meticulous and even thrilling camerawork. Its dialogue is terrific, cutting close to the bone without sacrificing realism for theatricality. And the story is packed with poisonous little surprises.
11/16/06
Top CriticAs raw and biting as a December morning in Montauk, writer-director Jeff Lipsky's depiction of modern metropolitan romance honors the sensibilities of both John Cassavetes and Ingmar Bergman.
11/16/06
Top CriticThough Jeff Lipsky's snoozefest, Flannel Pajamas, essentially consists of a couple talking nonstop for two hours, we never really understand what brought them together in the first place -- much less why they break up after two years together.
11/15/06
Top CriticThe twin specters of Ingmar Bergman and Woody Allen hover over this talky history of a relationship between two New Yorkers.
11/15/06
Top CriticIndie-film exec Jeff Lipsky's sophomore feature as writer-director shares with his distribution work a desire to restore some of the untidier virtues of '70s American film.
11/14/06
Top CriticA thoughtful dissection of the courtship and marriage of two ultimately mismatched New Yorkers.
01/24/06
Top CriticFlannel Pajamas is a nonstop talkfest that intimately charts the arc of a relationship from its intoxicating beginning to its frayed dissolution.
