An amazing place for film aficionados. They offer so many different types of programs and screenings throughout the year as well as wonderful film related classes. Im really excited for DOC NYC.

It was a cute little theater, with really high ceilings. I just wish you could buy tickets in advance.

I go to this Movie House every weekend last year because of the service and how well looked after I feel every time. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a pleasant staff who just make it a great experience. Plus, the actual setting of the venue was made to make you wowed. I enjoyed the place, I will come back after this epidemic ends.

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 its 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. Youll thank me.

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.

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.

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

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.

I saw Taxi Driver here with the boys several summers ago. Pretty great time, great movie, great location. I like movies and this place gets two thumbs up!

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!

Great movie theatre. Old school which I appreciate. Unique films are running there+a bunch of exclusive events with in-person meetings.

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.

Been going here for years. The place is as advertised, an great spot to see a movie that most likely wont feature superheros. Just be prepared to line up outside if youre going to see a popular movie.

Full of memories ... remember the musical, Hair, in the song about the Waverly theater? Well, here it is. This is a solid little independent theater that brings an interesting cinema and other events.

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.

Leading Indie and Art Film center. Always amazing. Reserve your ticket online. Frequently sold out as theaters are small. Across the street from W4 th. St Metro. Use South exit

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! Ive been taking my kids here for years for Oscar-Nominated Shorts, as well as various Japanese family flicks. We all love it here!!!

Warehouse-y feel, worn interior, amazing film lineup. If youre here, youre definitely not in Kansas anymore.

The IFC center is the best indie theatre in Manhattan (and Id 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!

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 its okay, dont know if I will be back.

Comfortable seats, good sightlines, reasonably priced concessions served in decently-sized portions. One of my favorite theaters.

Shows only the best movies. Fair pricing and quality experience.

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.

Comfortable seats, very small screens and dark theater. Restrooms are in a basement area. Fine if you like very old theaters and hard to find films.

Comfortable seating, good sound & screen. Bit on the small size, but thats the way it is now. I dont understand why some films are only shown in the morning? Dont people work or have lives? Maybe its geared for a retirement community.

Great variety of viewings and events, nice staff, and a great selection of snacks. A true NY classic spot!

I mean come on.. its IFC.. what else do I need to say? They are a landmark of downtown manhattan.. Ive watched some amazing films here from classics to cult to contemporary.The quality of film showcased here is often worth standing in like for 30 mins on occasions.

Intimate, clean theatres. Subterranean bathrooms are cool and clean. Delicious snacks. Excellent selection of films. Convenient to transportation. See a movie here!

Its nice to still have an indie movie house here in NY.

Thank Gawd for here, Film Forum, and Angelika...long live independent film!

See great movies on bigger screens and meet people like Donna Reeds daughter Mary to intro movies like Its a Wonderful Life!

Nice theater, clean, the staff is nice and well mannered, I loved my visit!

Youre here for the content. The theater isnt brand new, but the staff is friendly, the popcorn tasty, and the bathrooms are clean. Easy to get to and worth patronizing.

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. Its 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. Its nothing new to see people, places and things that have no Respect For American Values.

Very cozy cinema with perfect movies.

This place is a bit of a public nuisance since it doesnt 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.

Nice little independent movie theatre right by Washington square. Nice movies selection and nice staff also.

Cute small theater with cozy seats and intimate movie screening rooms. I find it a perfect place to enjoy Indi and less known movies.

I love.indie films great place to go for follow hipsters

Lots of fun. Saw Its A Wonderful Life.

Ive always loved this place. The movies they show are always thought provoking and unique! Besides, I love a good Studio Ghibli movie - fest!

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!

This place is of few incredible places left in NYC.

Diverse selection of independent and arthouse films, shorts and documentaries.

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.

One of my favorite movie places in NYC. Has the best in indie and foreign films!

Its a cool place to enjoy good films or some may say it Movies lol. Its pretty dope

This movie theater has unique movies but it’s really old and the screens are small.

We went to see irishman in ny. Good movie. Nice theatre. Small and quaint

Cute little theater with the best vibes. Saw Marriage Story here twice.

Great independent theater. Love itm

Great place for indie and documentaries. The down side is that the sceen is a little small but thats alright. Lots of great places to eat around here too.

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

Atmosphere/layout*Three screening rooms*No assigned seats; cushioned seats/no recliningFood/drink*No alcohol*Baked goods from Ovenly (brownie is personal favorite), ice cream sandwiches, candy, popcornFilms seen here*Color Out of Space*The Irishman

Small theatre with a genuine classic feel. Playing movies that either are - or should become classics.

Love the selección of movies, small rooms almost the size of a living room but I live it

Its quite an intimate theatre that is more for the film connoisseur. If youre in the mood for cult classic movies or independent films that receive limited releases IFC is probably your best bet.

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.

Formerly know as the Waverly theater. Its 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 arent shown anywhere else. If its obscure and foreign then the IFC Center is its home.

It was cool and cozy had a decent time

Great place for movies. Comfy seats

Amazing sound system and movie projection that brought us there to watch ROMA. The movie was a surprising and refreshing story worth watching for its 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.

Saw The Laundromat, a comedic satire based on the Panama Papers.

Pretty good. Like that its kind of grimy.

5 STARS FOR AN 11:30 A.M SHOWING OF THE IRISHMAN & ANOTHER 5 FOR ONE OF NYCs BEST PLACES TO SEE A MOVIE. I SAY THAT BECAUSE OF IFCs LONG HISTORY OF BRINGING SPECIAL FILMS TO NYers. EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT SCORSESES FILM, BUT ITS THE CONSISTENCY OF IFC BRINGING SMALLER FILMS TO NY FILM GOERS THAT MAKE IT A GO TO PLACE.WITH ITS 4 SCREENS IT OFFERS A VARIETY OF FILMS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE & FILM FESTVALS. MANY AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARIES APPEAR 1ST @ IFC.THE WEST VILLAGE AREAS A MULTITUDE OF GREAT PLACES TO EAT. COMBINE ALL OF THE ABOVE & IFC DESRVES A 10.

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. Its mostly new releases but theres some classics once in a while. The location, of course, is very convenient. Particularly with the many bars and restaurants nearby to enhance the cinema experience.

Amazing! Great staff, great choice, packed house - and its maybe HAUNTED! :)

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.

I had a wonderful time back to the old Waverly. Stirred up old memories. Animated shorts were so touching and fun. Really enjoyed my time there.

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 theyre not up-to-date and very worn. The seats also squeak badly when anyone moves. Concessions are okay but could be better.

Love it. Very classy theater. Perfect environment, great customer service and the films are great productions that outstand from the norm and are well received by elite audiences.

Great Atmosphere For Really good Movies ️

We loved this small theater. This time we saw a collection of the Oscar nominated animated shorts.

Great place. Always love it. Now that sunshine theater is a memory its nearly the only place you can go for foreign films as they come out. We saw The Shoplifters (万引き家族)

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 were 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.

Anyone u likes a break from the norm of Hollywood movies should go and support independent film makers....the movies they show here real effect u

Great place to catch indie films. Although the viewing screens are on the small side.

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 Lives 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 like this theater. Service is okay. Saw Its a wonderful life here which I thought was a great movie so its nice that the theater shows it every year at Christmas. Amenities were okay.

Nice preservation of the old Waverly cinema for independent film. Membership is a sweet deal for discounted tickets and access to special events, early access to others. Well-run operation with respectful staff.

They have very good ovenly cookies at concessions.

Love the coziness of this place. Its a neighborhood indie favorite and with good reason. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Seating is comfy and you dont feel like your at some chain theater in the mall. IFC really takes on the flavor of the neighborhood. Its a true gem!

Its a nice little theater that plays unusual films but there are mice in the theater.

Not exacly new but comfortable and soulful with polite and thoughtful staff.

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, its worth checking out.

If you want to see cinematography thats unique; and listen to those who make it happen this is the venue to visit.

$16 for matinee seats and no recliners. What is the world coming to? Getting to the downstairs bathroom was fun. Made me feel like I was in a horror movie about to do my murder scene.

Terrific independent film venue. Basically an old theatre complex with small theatres, small screens and small but comfortable stadium seating.

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 cant 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.

BEST TO SEE ART FILMS ,FESTIVAL FILMS ETC.COOL AND HELPFUL STAFF.UNIQUE ICE CREAM TREATS AT THE CONCESSION STAND.THEY ALSO SELL COOL MOVIE THEMED TEE SHIRTS.I GO THERE OFTEN AND I WOULD TELL MY FRIENDS TO ATTEND ANIME MOVIES THERE WITH ME BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIG THOSE TYPE OF MOVIES.SO CONVENIENTLY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE WEST VILLAGE NEAR WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK.UP AND DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOMS SO,NEVER A LONG WAIT FOR ONE.GO THERE!

Amazing art cinema place. Loved the place and the movies that were playing.

If youre 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.

First time at IFC, long time coming. Will come back for the exclusive selection of titles and atmosphere.

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

A movie theater so interesting I actually chose to subscribe to their mailing list. They just always have the most interesting movies, whether its old classics, weird animes, or weird old anime classics. The theaters are pretty small, but that just adds to the intimate feeling. I cant imagine anyone who wouldnt find something they love, especially if you check far enough ahead online.

On Point... with the high prices for a ticket

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. Ill be happy to go to watch extra special movies there but it wont be a my first choice in New York for the alternative movie scene.

I a samurai film called shadow and had a great time with jen

Great theater to check out independent films. Sometimes they have Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after the screening. The theatre itself is OK, nothing fancy. The seats are standard.

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 arent played at the bigger theatres.
