- TulsiTime70Amherst, MA7 contributionsIt pains me that I cant go to Film Forum all of the time. A wonderful essential important place for film and for New York. Which means important and essential to the world. Great film selections, facilities, sound, picture, everything. Just go.Written 6 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- finammaNew York City, NY6 contributionsThe place is really nice, staff was friendly, and although naturally an older location everything was clean and comfortable. Theater personality to it.

- Jan DSaint Charles, MO351 contributionsOur group of three adults visited during the mid afternoon to see "Amazing Grace", and were reminded of the deep spiritual roots of the late Aretha Franklin in this outstanding documentary. On the main floor was a delightful Gourmet Cafe, and we went downstairs to the see the film, where they had a traditional concession stand as well. It's great to have theaters that show movies of real substance and true artistry.Written 1 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pokiloca13Brooklyn, NY4 contributionsNice theater... went to ipic as a group of four. We sat in the same row but only 2 people can sit together. The seats are shaped like pods, with a wall between you and next person. They give you a blanket.. that is a nice touch since it's freezing in there. The food is okay the street tacos barely have anything in them. And the kids chicken tenders are just 2 pieces. They should atleast have 1 or 2 four seater pods for family's.Written 3 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT1,879 contributionsI usually enjoy coming to this movie theater - it's conveniently located, there's always a movie I want to see at a time that works for me, and the seats are comfortable. It's a busy movie theater precisely because of its location, so buy tickets early if you want to ensure a good seat. Sometimes the escalators don't work, but they're fixed quickly. It's a large movie theater (3 floors), so there are plenty of movie options, and it's decorated nicely for a chain. The bathrooms could be cleaned more frequently, though.Written 20 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ray G45 contributionsMy wife & I went here on a Saturday afternoon to see a movie that was not showing anywhere near our neighborhood.Its win-win situation when both spouses are actually into the exact same movie & want to see it badly enough to travel to unfamiliar territory to see it.The theatre itself & the movie were nice.Concession stand was decent,staff efficient,bathroom large & clean.However,come time to get back on our side of town the West side of Manhattan,the area is so remote that we honestly couldnt find the street we were being picked up from.The four corners of the theatre are surrounded by water,being in the financial district with a highway separating them! This is NOT an area to be in when it is cold outside & you have to pick your way thru the blocks.I had to call our driver to come find us.Even with navigation from the cellphone,it was still impossible to tell which way to walk.Not sure I would go here again.At least not in the winter time.Written 13 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- alw77glasgow78 contributionsWe were exhausted after lots of walking and thought we’d go see a movie rather than a show for a rest one evening. We’d chosen the film and I started researching cinemas in the area, and came across this amazing place …. We were able to see our film Jaffe Art Theatre …. If your movie is available on this screen, please choose it, you will not be disappointed…. The film is the film but you feel like you are taking part in history, watching the film in what feels like a museum…. A really special experience on our trip. (Lots of lovely places around for pre/post drinks or food too)Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- reactorcontrolDresden, Germany142 contributionsRooftop Cinema is a great concept: relax with a movie while still experiencing the great city around you. This location also executes this idea nicely: comfy chairs, headphones and a decent quality screen. I also liked the movie selection of classics.Written 16 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
