Upon arriving at the ticket window to pick up our tickets, my girlfriend and I were outright ignored while the seller chatted idly with another individual in the booth. When she finally decided to notice us, the seller barely even looked up, continued talking, and slid us our tickets. I thought nothing of; it's a boring job and nothing to be enthusiastic about, but, when we walked in the front doors, the ticket man (whatever that job is called) had the exact same look of tortured malice. I wasn't sure if he was on the verge of suicide or homicide. After standing in the queue for a few moments, my girlfriend decided to get some popcorn while I went outside to smoke a cigarette. I told the doorman that I was smoking and would be back in a few moments, but when I returned he demanded my ticket receipt and acted as though he had never seen me, despite the fact that maybe two people had entered the building while I was gone. All right, I think, these people certainly hate their jobs; I'm uncomfortable, but I can't blame them, can I? My girlfriend is back in line with the popcorn, and I'm bewildered by the exorbitant price for such a measly bag of bland fluff. Luckily we brought our own snacks. We're ushered into the theater, and again I am bewildered. The screen and theater are as measly as the bag of popcorn: no more than six rows of seats, and a screen smaller than you could get on a $50 projector! All in all no one should be spending the ridiculous price of movie tickets these days on such a poor experience.

The ticket patron was very unprofessional. Needed help as a senior with asking about the Showtime. The two young girls were very rude n refused to help. Later after leaving the theater. I noticed that they help someone else. Felt like I experienced discrimination at this place. I have no interest to return but some Attorney should be noticed for the discrimination. Afterwards while I spoke to the Manager. This young girl abandon her post to instigate. It's quite possible that the Manager has no status over her. And in all probability she may be able to get away with unprofessional behavior that should not be allowed. As a senior n a Military Veteran n a Retiree from Homeland Security. It's nothing new to see people, places and things that have no Respect For American Values.

I lived in NYC for more than 12 years but it was my first time at the IFC Center. I went to see the movie 'House Of Darkness' with Justin Long and Kate Bosworth. Although Long's character was clueless and humorous at times, I did not enjoy the movie as there were scenes that were too long for no reason and the dialogue was too forced in my opinion. As the theater itself, it was OK. The food at the concession isn't overpriced but its quality was underwhelming. The seats were comfortable. The visual and audio were excellent. Having the bathroom located in the basement isn't ideal as it truncated my viewing of the movie by a lot. For me, it earned a passing grade. I cannot tell you to totally pass on it as it is a landmark here in NYC, but do not expect much of it.

I bought a ticket for a film today at the IFC, 5/1/2022. There are five cinemas in this theatre and I was assigned to Cinema Five. I paid movie ticket prices for this movie and what I got was a movie theatre that was hardly bigger than my living room and a movie screen that was hardly bigger than the one I have at home. Cinema One is the only cinema in the theatre that has big screen which would qualify it to be called a movie theatre. Cinemas 2, 3 and 4 have progressively smaller screens until you get to Cinema Five which is a hole in the wall. Cinema Five should only charge $5 dollars as opposed to the $15 dollars I paid for what I thought was a real movie theatre.

IFC screens some of the best 'art house' / independent films in New York. Even if you're not sure about a film and feel like experimenting, you can trust that someone else has made a wise choice if it is being shown here. The image and sound quality is quite good, although the seats are starting to show their history. Snacks and drinks are available, fairly priced. The small lobby crossed with very popular films can sometimes cause a queue to form outside on the streets of New York. So make sure you are dressed for the climate. It is a minor hassle, but hey - it's New York. Who needs a mall connected to a multiplex to have fun?

IFC ranks at the top with Film Forum for the variety of independent & foreign films they run. During this trip to NYC, I was excited that IFC played different, older HK films on different days - In The Mood For Love & Chungking Express - among what I found. I haven't seen these films in a movie house for a long time. IFC shows films I never see anywhere else - several years ago I was in town and they played a gorgeous French version of Bluebeard. I'm still haunted by it. Make sure to watch for their Oscar packages, where they bundle up different nominated shorts - always great fun.

tight seats (manhattan) but theyre really cushy and comfortable and the selection here is just unreal :) sound and video is really high quality, they definitely care. this is the type of theater where people will shush other people if they are talking. dont go if you arent serious about watching flicks :) (i do wish they would add a soundproof mezzanine so me and my friends could act up but thats asking a lot, 5 stars) oh also the bathrooms are always really a trip (positive). dead silent with really interesting lighting. nice mirrors. ifc center understands aesthetics.

Paid to see Roma in this theater instead of waiting to see it on TV. Unfortunately the film was in Dolby Surround 7.1 and screened in a theater was set up for 5.1 (Theater 4). This meant that no one in the audience could hear a single line of dialog uttered by any off-screen character for the entire film. Odd choice on the part of IFC. Waste of money on my part. Issue was addressed by the projectionist with a "sorry we're looking into it". First time this has ever happened in a theater in my entire life. Otherwise, the popcorn was good and the seats were comfortable.

This place is not for everyone, but for those who loves something different. I went there yesterday (on my birthday:) to watch Vesper & fell in love from the 1st sight! Starting from the cashier outdoors in the window & finishing with the cozy atmosphere of the small movie rooms. Acoustic system is on point - now i really understand what all around sound immersion truly means!!! This is my favorite movie theater from now on. But do not expect to see those superhero movies & other brain chewing gum in here. Didn't I mention that this place is not for everyone yet?

Second visit to this movie theater. Located in the old "Waverly Theater" on Sixth Avenue in the Village, it now offers a variety of independent films in each of its several intimately small theaters. Recent showings include "The Outlaw King", "The Border," and a special weekend re-release of the National Theater Live's "Frankenstein." Clean, well-maintained restrooms are available. With several cafes and restaurants in the area, the theater can be a good part of a weekend getaway or casual night out for couples, friends, or visitors from out of town.

I've been coming to IFC for several years and enjoyed many of the films. I thought it was a humane institution so when my 2 year old daughter had an accident I thought they would be nice enough to let me use the bathroom just. When I very politely asked I was told that she had to buy a ticket. I was shocked. Business or not I don't understand how anyone would force a young couple to make a child walk around with dirty underwear to milk 18 bucks out of us. I might go back because I love the movies but this is not a friendly establishment.

This place is a bit of a public nuisance since it doesn't have enough interior space for patrons to queue indoors, so everyone piles up outside on the sidewalk. The proprietors will bark at the line to have their phones ready for scanning, and they have some merch inside that leads me to believe someone in marketing has a thing for space alien-turned-actress Tilda Swinton. Decent place to see a movie, at least. Refreshments are notably cheaper than some NYC theaters and they do refills on some sizes of soft drinks free of charge.

saw a film here for the first time, the movie selection is good and the prices are affordable. my main complaint is the discomfort of the theater - this may not be the same experience for everybody, but myself and those i came with almost passed out from sitting through the movie, in the intense heat of the theater. and i later overheard others complaining about the same thing. we have no clue why the temperature was so high but it kind of ruined our time, as it was hard to ignore. the theater was also small and a bit congested

They have ice cream sandwiches & cookies as well as some merch which is one thing that sets it apart from other theaters Another different thing was how small and intimate the theater was. It was my first time in such a small theater - I had no idea it would be so small. It wasn’t bad but I could potentially see it being bad if there was people talking because it would be impossible not to hear. Also because it’s smaller, its louder. So if you have sensory issues bring noise reducing earplugs.

The premier of Jesse Krime's transition was fabulous in that everyone has a talent to share with the world and if we have the determination and commitment to see it through, those dreams can be realized if we don't give up and focus on what matters most. Our family and support network must be a mirror to our thoughts and actions because everything else is smoke and mirrors. I'm totally inspired by Jesse's dream to pursue my own. I'm grateful to have witnessed it.

Yeah, so, three words: Best POPcorn Ever!!! Need one say anything more about a movie theater for it to receive a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating? Well, really, that is true...but IFC gets oodles of stars for so many other things as well: Choice of movies (including late-night, cult and indie), hospitality of staff, location, and...on and on! I've been taking my kids here for years for Oscar-Nominated Shorts, as well as various Japanese family flicks. We all love it here!!!

For a theater especially marketed toward movie connoisseurs, it contains a lot of people who come in late, talking; and who are on their phones, texting. I went to see Parasite recently (excellent - recommended) and was shocked and disappointed to discover so many terrible movie-goers at this renowned icon of cinema. Perhaps they were all students fulfilling some cinema-ED credit, but whomever it is, they ruin a fun night at the movies for everyone.

This is probably my favorite place in New York City to see a movie. Seats are wide and comfortable. They show neat shorts before the movies. The crowd here is well behaved (though I can't speak to the midnight showings). Restrooms in the basement are generally cleaner than at the chain theaters. Concessions include real butter for popcorn and they have Old Bay seasoning on offer. Also check out their movie directors as metal band logos t-shirts.

They screen the best movies in the city, but man, some of the theaters are unbelievably tiny. Why charge $20 to see a movie on a screen the size of a TV? I always seem to get unlucky with crowds here too. People showing up late, constantly getting up and leaving, etc. This one dude today was laughing during scenes of children being bullied…? Idk. Still a better experience than surrounding theaters like Film Forum or Angelika.

IFC is one of the best places to see a movie. Comfy seats and wide. They show foreign films and the location is right in the heart of the village. My first time there was to see RockyHorrorPictureShow and it's still going strong. Their decor is chic and the bathrooms are clean with HOT water!! I love that they have a water cooler and cups for a little drink. Nice attentive staff throughout the theater. They aren't multiplex.

So i love movies and this theater, but they've been really rude about my partner being trans and disabled and needing accommodation. Let me tell you something, service dogs are still legit even when they're cute, and yelling at a non-verbal person isn't going to get them to respond to you. And then kicking them out...doesn't help. (You can guess by now what went down, SMH. Just awful...and so unnecessary!)

They show a lot of great indie and classic films here. The overall feel of the common area is akin an old studio - a little dim, a little cramped, and the age shows. But the theaters themselves are great - good sound and terrific seats (the most spacious and comfortable seats I've been to of any movie theater in recent memory). Ticket price have risen quite a bit over the past few years though.

I've been a patron of IFC for 5 years and they have done nothing but improve. The seats are much more comfortable now than when I first attended a showing and the coffee is great. There is a lot of passion for the cinema here from the employees and it is expected of the audience to respect the film. There's a lot of great independent theatres in NYC to support, but I always come back to IFC.

Great place for film lovers! Fun midnight screenings and festivals. Since 1835 when the building was created as a church, then a stain glass factory in the 1900s, and finally as a movie house in the 1930s, this historic space has been an NYC staple for gathering in awe. Love the film festivals and special nights. This after all, is the birthplace of the Rocky Horror Picture Show spectacle!

A movie theater so interesting I actually chose to subscribe to their mailing list. They just always have the most interesting movies, whether it's old classics, weird animes, or weird old anime classics. The theaters are pretty small, but that just adds to the intimate feeling. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't find something they love, especially if you check far enough ahead online.

Thoroughly cleansed and accommodating service. I am ecstatically thrilled that they. are up and running once again. There is nothing like the independent films that are shown there. It is certainly worth the trip and getting back to life and seeing what new films are in place for showing is an absolute energizing experience. Go dive back in, you'll be happy with your decision to go!

If you're looking for a place to see and find new Indie movies, this is it. There are some indie movies that will only run here. The place does have multiple screens but it has an old school theatre feel. Thus, if you always go to AMC and Regal, you might be a bit underwhelmed. The screens and halls are not as big as theatre chains. The seating is always open, rather than reserved.

There are really only 4 art movie houses that I can think of off the top of my head and this is one. Typical excellent programming as you would expect. Friendly staff and comfortable seating. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 is for no reserved seating and very small screens. Sometimes I think I should have just waited for the movie to stream on my home TV which feels almost as big.

Sadly they've lost their cool, the selection of newer movies is still pretty good but the programming of their repertory screenings, which used to be great, has tanked. The small size of most of their theaters coupled with the humorless posse that now rushes you at the door like they're defending a fortress rather than welcoming you to a theater kills most of the experience.

This particular IFC cinema is quite enjoyable. It has a fine mixture of contemporary and classic films- both mainstream and independent. It even host an annual film festival. Inside the building it's both cozy and roomy....Casablanca happened to be playing the day that I went.If you ever doing in your life- see an old classic film on the big screen. You'll thank me.

Last time I came here, no one was sitting in their assigned seat and the entire theater had to play a cantankerous round of musical chairs right as the film was starting. The time before that, they had the heat cranked up so high I ended up sweating in places I didn't think possible. Every time I come here, something weird happens. But hey, that's not a bad thing.

Amazing sound system and movie projection that brought us there to watch ROMA. The movie was a surprising and refreshing story worth watching for it's heartfelt drama and unbiased cinematic beauty. The individual theaters are small but cozy. Easily accessible by car or nearby subway lines 1, 2, 3, A, B, C, D, E, F, M, R and W lines and local MTA bus lines.

Screen sizes vary from a good main screen to a small screen, but all seem in line with what brings the people. A solid collection of indie and classic films get played. You will never find the latest blockbuster, but IFC has carved out a niche that is hard to replicate. First and sometimes only theater to get some movies, it's worth checking out.

I had an issue with a ticket pack and IFC resolved it, which I really appreciate. I've been going to IFC for nearly a decade now and love being able to see everything from retrospectives of auteur's films I may have not seen before or want to see again, to new films, such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul's mesmerizing Memoria. Keeping cinema alive!

Not to be melodramatic, but this is the core of the indie-film world. It's a temple revering the wonderful and enigmatic power of cinema. If you're the kind of person who knows the difference between Godard and Truffaut or Ozu and Kurosawa, make a pilgrimage here. While it's not glamorous, it's a place that demands devotion from any cinephile.

The IFC Center is my favorite movie theater in New York City. Their selection for midnight screenings is amazing, and I love the Weekend Classics series they do! The staff is always really friendly and the theaters are nice and cozy. Also be sure to check out their tote bags! I got a David Lynch one recently and couldn’t be happier with it.

Awesome indie theatre with comfy seats and a warm old school movie vibe! We saw the vintage Christmas movie It’s a wonderful life here around Christmas time and the daughter of one of the main actress did a q and a before the movie. It’s a unique fun experience, they are efficient and concession food is reasonably priced for the movies.

First time here. It was supper nice. People greeted me with a smile.. Service was fast and convenient. The Lobby Was smaller than I am used to but then, well behaved adults know how to wait on line for food and movies. The theaters was small too but the screen size was all well proportioned. I wish we had a theater like this in Queens

I saw Boyhood here. It was one of two movie theaters in NYC screening the movie, just to give you an idea on this venue's exclusivity. There is a certain vintage charm to the IFC Center. The number of director's who have opened their independent features here is mind-boggling. A fantastic venue full of culture and history and impact.

I don't recommend using their online ticketing. I didn't receive my tickets and they will only refund me if I show up at the theater to exchange or get a refund. All the manager needed to do was send a fax to my bank and he wouldn't do it. Plus some of the theaters there are VERY small, like being in a living room with a big TV.

Aside from its charm and the fact that it's a neighborhood staple, it couldn't hurt to upgrade some of the theaters. Some of the theaters are shoebox-sized with tiny screens, some have wonky chairs that are in perpetual recline, and you don't really know what you're going to end up with until you buy your ticket and enter.

A true gem for indie film fans. Their midnight screenings are well curated and one of my favorite things to do in the city along with grabbing a slice before at Joe's just around the corner. The seats and interior are a bit dated but, I think it goes with the vibe. They have an above average drink and snack selection too.

I love this place! It's convenient to my train line, it was remodeled before it opened years ago, they play all kinds of independent movies and documentaries, and have a great film program in general. There's a million places to eat and drink nearby on Bleecker and McDougal Streets before or after your movie as well.

Certainly one of the top movie theaters in the five boroughs. Excellent curation of independent and foreign films, with intriguing series', limited runs and special screenings. Also a strong weekend repertoire presence and good late-night fare. Become a member for discounts on admission, concessions and merchandise.

I came here for the annual holiday showing of Its a Wonderful Life, firstly seeing that film on the big screen was amazing and made me so happy. Second, they were great with keeping things organized since there were a lot of people and the theater is very nice, the mirrors on the way to the bathroom were so cool.

Formerly know as the Waverly theater. It's a nice clean theater which has some small intimate theaters. They show first run shows as well as oldies but goodies like Yellow Submarine along with truly art house movies which aren't shown anywhere else. If it's obscure and foreign then the IFC Center is it's home.

We saw a wonderful movie at the IFC Center - Shoplifters by Hirokazu Kore-eda - but the movie house itself is in need of major renovation and revamping. It is quite seedy. I'll be happy to go to watch extra special movies there but it won't be a my first choice in New York for the alternative movie scene.

Awesome location in the West Village to see indie/art house films. The facility itself is in need of some renovations and updates. The theaters are intimate with wide seating but they're not up-to-date and very worn. The seats also squeak badly when anyone moves. Concessions are okay but could be better.

So lovely and homey. Love the intimacy. Reminds me of Coolidge corner theater in boston, but this one is in a better, more accessible location. Watched Parasite here opening night and was thrilled. Really excellent location for top-notch independent cinema. A classic, quintessential arthouse theater.

This is a great movie theater that showcases a variety of indie, classic, and some mainstream films. They also have Q&A’s with directors and actors. Access right outside the A/C subway stop, and if you’re hungry, stop by The Taco Shop just around the corner for some yummy tacos and fresh margaritas.

This is a great place to catch the latest indie releases. The staff is very friendly, they have a bunch of interesting concession snacks and the theaters all retain a cozy atmosphere. I've seen a lot of powerful movies here, like "My Perestroika" and am always excited to go back to see another one

Nice theater. Strategically located ( right outside a subway station) and right across from a public basketball court. The theater shows indie movies for the most part. Not sure if they show regular releases here. Worth a visit if you happen to be in the area and are into watching an indie film.

A small theatre with well curated niche film screenings. They collaborate with institutions like DocNYC. I think there are only two screens and the time between two movies is just enough for a short discussion. I wished they had some more buffer time for the screening of While we Watched.

The IFC is one of those theaters that you could pick a movie at random without knowing anything about it and it would be good. They have carefully curated films which attracts an audience that is more respectful of movie-going culture than ...other places. Also their cookies are so good

A wonderful multiplex theater that shows some of the best art films in NYC. One of the few remaining one, so vital. My only complaint would be that one of the theaters is so tiny it feels like a home screening room. I would like to know that a film is screening there before arriving.

Love the coziness of this place. It's a neighborhood indie favorite and with good reason. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Seating is comfy and you don't feel like your at some chain theater in the mall. IFC really takes on the flavor of the neighborhood. It's a true gem!

This is one of the best Independent film theater in the city. They show everything from short films to foreign films. They've got great retrospectives and filmmaker Q&As. Go to their website to checkout what's on their calendar. It's best to see what they've got going on in advance.

If you are into nostalgic decor and such this placs is for you. The seats are small and if you have a knee or leg problem do an aisle seat. Audience tends to be civil because a teen is used to a bigger screen/theater experience. Overall it's okay, don't know if I will be back.

Definitely should go here films. Nice variety of snacks and merchandise. I recommend going to the Oscar Nominated Short Films which is going on today for a couple more days. My only complaint was that it was cold in the theater on a cold day outside. But great place overall!

Went to see the new All Quiet On The Western Front. Excellent pic and place was excellent and super nice staff. Comfortable seats and after the movie clapping which I have not heard for eons. They play many different first run and Indies and other eclectic fair. Good place.

I love this place because of the selection and it gives you that old school authentic cinema vibe. My only complaint is the cleanliness of course. The cloth seats feel very sketch and who knows what is hiding in the seats. IFC is in desperate need of a renovation.

I liked the size of the theater we we're in. It wasn't too large. They play aLot of indie movies but when I went, it was during the studio Ghibli special they were having . And it was great! If you have some extra cash and a specific movie to watch, I recommend.

Great indie theater with excellent programming. Also have fantastic t-shirt line with infamous directors names written in script mimicking heavy metal bands. Just learned that the theater is proposing to expand with more screens, which is very exciting news.

Clearly a historic spot, or so it seems, but the place is largely personality-less on the customer side of things. Concessions are an afterthought, employees are a little robotic. Programming is great though, and the patrons behave well inside the theater.

Great to be back after two years of the pandemic - for a screening of “Writing With Fire,” an Oscar-nominated doc. The smell of popcorn hits you on the way in and you know you’re back! Big, comfortable theater. So glad we could be at the IFC Center again.

This theater is older and smaller, but the repertoire of films shown here is great. It's important for movie goers to be able to see a small independent film and this place has it. Bathrooms are clean and the theater was not crowded at all, always a plus.

Fantastic indie movie theatre that has great programming. Love that they show classics to the newest foreign films from across the globe. Always love to check out what they have playing. The theaters themselves are great too, nice screens and chairs.

I adore the IFC Center's selection of films the most. I can watch older films here like A Clockwork Orange and Eraserhead along with independent and foreign films that aren't offered near me. The staff is also friendly and the venue overall is clean.

Great selection of indie films of all genres. Their retrospectives are top-notch and cultivated with an obvious love for and deep understanding of the art of cinema. The place is a little run down though and would benefit immensely from a makeover.

Good theater for obscure movies. Seats and screens should be upgraded but the old mix matched seating that's been stitched together with different fabrics and cloths over the years lend to the places aesthetic. Love going to their ghibli screenings

Movie theaters like IFC Center are part of the fabric that makes New York City so great. You'll find independent films and festival darlings here. All those movies that your suburban counterparts have to wait for or rent digitally nowadays,

Generally a nice indie theater with a nice staff. Clean bathrooms, good snack selection, relatively comfy seats. My only complaint would be the small room and screen in theater number 5. All the other theaters seem to be more normal sized.

Conveniently located EXACTLY next to the A, B, C, D , E, F, & M trains, the IFC is one of the few dwindling independent movie theaters left in the city. It offers food beyond the typical "popcorn & Milk Duds" movie snacks and has intimate

I've been here twice this year to see some classic movies for the first time. The Shining and Alien. My first experience seeing The Shining was great. It was during a Stanley Kubrick festival so they had a lot of cool merchandise up front

What I like most about IFC center is that I get to see interesting that are off the beaten path but still relevant and usually, very interesting. It's mostly new releases but there's some classics once in a while. The location, of course,

Comfortable seating, good sound & screen. Bit on the small size, but that's the way it is now. I don't understand why some films are only shown in the morning? Don't people work or have lives? Maybe it's geared for a retirement community.

This is a great theater for seeing independent films. Sometimes, people who worked on the films (directors, actors, etc) will attend the screening and will do a Q&A afterwards. That is a delightful and unique experience. I would go again!

Apart from having to occasionally overhear conversations among some intolerable film snobs here, the IFC Center is about as good as it gets for independent film in New York (though I personally prefer the Angelika). They manage to screen

One of the best venues for arthouse and independent films. But like some others in the city, they can lower their ticket prices to attract more viewers. We need more arthouse film viewers and lowering price tickets is essential for that.

The screens could have been larger in the smaller rooms, and the seating layout in the main auditorium (the big one) is far from perfect, but overall it's a good place to see movies you won't normally find at most other theaters.

Best theatre if you want to see weird or interesting independent movies. Sound quality is very good, they're always playing a range of very obscure to mainstream movies. Premeires are exiting here because it feels small and fun.

The IFC center is the best indie theatre in Manhattan (and I'd choose it for even big box films if it was an option). The best part is the staff, who are just as excited about movies as you are. Plus the popcorn is super tasty!

Staff nice ...manager lady super helpful. Y don't they use their backyard for after parties? Understaffed or someone likes to hide btwn shows. Water cooler cups missing but bar person is nice ...bathrooms clean on men side.

If you want to watch something new and unique, this is the place to go. The place is small yet comfy, you'll feel like you're in your own home theater. But what I love most are the films they feature here, and the popcorn.

A neighborhood fixture that's mostly clean, has unique merch and a variety of current and past movie showings. Not accessible. The entrance is on ground level but lots of stairs to the theater(s?) and restroom.

One of my favorite theaters in NYC. They play movies that you won't be able to find anywhere else and the staff is nice and the theater itself is great. One of the best places around for people who love film.

One of my favorite places in NYC. An incredible place to watch old classic movies and chill out. It's not the world's most luxurious environment, but who cares. It's just a fun time. A special gem of NYC!

Tiny little theatres for intimate screenings of awesome indie films. They show some crazy shorts before the films too which are definitely out there! Fun flicks that aren't played at the bigger theatres.

The rooms where the movies are shown are very tiny. On a positive note, the bathrooms are super clean, and there is a great water fountain downstairs with strong pressure spouting out cold water.

A nice theater showing smaller films. Tickets are on the pricy side and the seats are pretty uncomfortable. They do some good shows and even sometimes bring in the directors to talk about them.

This is a theater for true cinephiles. They staff is always friendly. See the films that the major theaters aren't playing. Always clean. They even screen actual 35mm prints. Snacks are decent.

If you're a fan of independent cinema, then this is the place. Exceptional programming and great member perks. It's probably time for them to invest in new seating in the main theater, though.

Great service, the sound system and theater size is comfortable and relaxing. It has a different and diverse selection of movies than the new and mainstream- foreign, indie, and documentaries.

Love this place. I discovered different international, indie, and classic movies here. They curate great stuff. Midnight movies, special events, Indiana Jones, it's a must for any film lover.

Funky independent neighborhood theater. Great movie selection. Eclectic mix of concessions and items for the cineophile. Only two theaters but good rotation of times. Fun revivals as well.

Historic, but it shows. Theatres are cramped and small, kinda grimy, sound quality lacking. Snack options severely limited. Felt more like watching a movie in your college dorm's lounge.

wonderful selection of films. It does have that regrettable Manhattan thing of the tiny tiny theatres, but at least there are no handprints on the screen or blown out speakers.

Phenomenal theater. We need to keep.old school NYC art theaters open. Retro just like it was and connects to the films shown here. Saw a great documentary on Kurt Vonnegut.

Great theater! Worth it to become a member. Screenings of new films, restorations, special midnight showings of older films, events with filmmakers and actors.

Such a change from the grubby days in the 90s when this theater was a pit. Now—incredible revival house. Chungking Express and Body Heat. What more can I say?
