Flannel Pajamas is a 2006 film directed by Jeff Lipsky, starring Julianne Nicholson and Justin Kirk. It charts the course of a short-lived marriage, from its passionate beginning through the daily erosion of feeling and romance to separation. Filmed in New York City, NY, Rockland County, NY, and Chester Springs, PA[1] with a budget of just under $500,000,[2] it was shown at Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury prize.[3] It later opened in several large cities across the country, including New York City, where it received a mixed, though admiring, review from the New York Times,[4] and San Francisco, where it received a similar review from the Chronicle.[5]

Lipsky, the director, got his start as a distributor of independent films such as John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence,[6] and some reviewers noted Cassavetes' influence on this film.[7] Entertainment Today and the New York Observer both picked it as one of the best films of the year.[8] Roger Ebert called it "one of the wisest films I can remember about love and human intimacy. It is a film of integrity and truth, acted fearlessly, written and directed with quiet, implacable skill."[9]
