Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Linda LCairo12 contributionsi went there to see Sam Heughan and Josh Horowitz do a live podcast. the theater is a decent size and has an interesting balcony. most everyone i spoke with could see well wherever they were seated. they had no trouble accomodating me in my electric wheelchair. they keep a space in the front row on the aisle for handicapped peopleWritten 28 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dands238Batavia, NY242 contributionsConvenient ticketing stations when you walk in, staff were available if you need help. Comfortable seating with the recliners. Theater was clean.Written 14 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Marisa BSantiago, Chile3 contributionsMy most-loved movie theater (though Metrograph is just behind it). Such good films, so well-run, it has been a mainstay for cinema lovers for decades. Unlike most movie places, it's for grown-ups! (Except for a nice kids' program.) I've been here dozens and dozens of times over the years and plan on continuing.Written 8 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT2,234 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.

- pokiloca13Brooklyn, NY5 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.

- finammaNew York City, NY4 contributionsThe place is really nice, staff was friendly, and although naturally an older location everything was clean and comfortable. Theater personality to it.

- Johnson_250Redmond, WA77 contributionsTribeca festival pretends to be open and accessible with fans but it's just not true. At least not anymore. They act like elitists and fans are just little peons to them, not worth any time or effort. I did not have a great experience at the festival and it felt like being a fan of RD was this huge no-no. i've had friends who have worked there who have said the same. MOST come to the festival because of RD!?
Before I went to the festival this year, I didn't get a response with a few simple questions. I emailed again and the person who answered a week later seemed annoyed. Won't be going againWritten 8 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gaelic_GypsySeymour, CT335 contributionsMovies, by their nature, are transformative. You sit down and enter another time and another place. Such is the case with the Quad Cinema and W. 13th Street.
You enter through non-descript doors off the busy sidewalk and are transported into a wonderful movie goers experience. The interior lobby is sleek and modern with a nice refreshment stand and gorgeous (if you can use that in this context) bathrooms. The individual theaters are an intimate space (with around 120 seats each) and offer very comfortable seating. There simply is not a bad seat in the house and the entire experience was wonderful.
The movie selection is primarily independent and niche films, but often feature outstanding acting and directorial performances. The admission prices are excellent for New York City (as of this review $16 for adults and $13 for seniors) providing a tremendous value for anyone lucky enough to wander through those non-descript doors.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

- CaroleIrlDublin, Ireland233 contributionsAmazing cinema .... so comfortable. Huge seats that recline. Clean cinema, great spot! Best cinema I have been to in NYC!

- MzungubabeNairobi, Kenya720 contributionsBeing just off Times Square and huge, I thought watching a movie here would be a fantastic experience. Instead, it was very expensive (a ticket plus snacks came to over $40) and the seating was basic and uncomfortable. Cinemas in London, UK are so much better!Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- reactorcontrolDresden, Germany155 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.

- Ray G42 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.
