Leave your thoughts about 5 Flights Up.
| The PlaylistJessica KiangIt's quite difficult to hate 5 Flights Up as much as a project this pointless and trite deserves, because of the attractive playing of the central pair. Keaton and Freeman share absolutely zero sexual chemistry, but watching them twinkle at each other and ruefully indulge each other's tiny mood swings is an experience so aggressively engineered for adorability it becomes hypnotic. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThere is little suspense in where "5 Flights Up" is headed, but Keaton and Freeman's movie marriage is a good investment. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA demonstration by a long-married couple of what it means to truly be in sync with each other. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...there's room for modest mainstream movies that present us with a romanticized view of our daily existence. |
| New York PostLou LumenickMorgan Freeman and Diane Keaton have unexpectedly great chemistry in this warm and funny comedy. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloIf 5 Flights Up is worth seeing, it’s primarily for the pleasure of Keaton and Freeman’s company, plus maybe for some tips on buying and selling an apartment. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedBetter films about senior citizens displaced by a greedy housing market have been made. (Anyone for Vittorio De Sica’s Umberto D, or Ira Sachs’ recent heartbreaker Love is Strange, about a homeless elderly gay couple?) But the humorous script by Charlie Peters (based on a novel by Jill Ciment), fluidly directed by Richard Loncraine, makes this an agreeable experience. |

| Reeling ReviewsRobin Cliffordthe film and its main characters struck a chord within me. |
| Entertainment WeeklyIsabella BiedenharnFreeman is funny as a lovable crank, but Keaton’s neurotic performance wears thin. |
