    Came here in May 2026....my first time in a movie theater since December 31, 2019. Living in NYC,…read moregoing to a regular movie theater is a nightmare...people on their phones, talking, smoking cigarettes and weed, babies crying. I just stopped going since even Alamo stopped enforcing cell phone usage. But I really wanted to see "The Sheep Detectives" and I saw that there weren't too many seats sold for an early Friday show, so my husband and I visited here and it wasn't bad! I didn't order tickets in advance but used the kiosk when we walked in. I was also able to order food at the kiosk and then pick it up at the concession stand. Although every employee I saw there looks like they are in high school, the place seemed to be pretty well run. It was tidy, the soda/salt/napkins areas were organized and well stocked. The restrooms were a little outdated but they were clean and most everything worked. The theater was clean and the seats were in good shape....no obvious tears or sagging or anything. Sound and temperature were perfect. There were probably about a dozen other people in the theater and nobody used their phones or decided to have an in depth conversation. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the other reviews. I imagine if I saw a film that wasn't designed to attract old softies like me, my experience might have been different but I would go back here as long as it wasn't too crowded.

    My first and last time in this dump. All theaters are open at least 10am. Had an upcoming movie to…read morefind that the theater was closed. It's no wonder people dont go here. Another couple pulled up for a 12pm movie to find that it was closed. I miss criterion cinemas in New haven. Ended up going to southbury.

    I remember going here to this very nice playhouse in downtown new Canaan, Connecticut. It closed in…read more2020. However, an extensive renovation was done and they opened in June 2024. What a fantastic job they have done. Cinema lab is the company responsible for the redesign. They have a Theatre that they redid in South Orange, New Jersey. As well as in Colorado. Now there's a beautiful pub upstairs where you can get drinks and food as well. I had a delicious dry aged burger with french fries. The service was great and the food reasonably priced and the burger juicy delicious great flavor. Crispy french fries The theater room itself is really very nice now. Bigger screen. Upgraded sound system. Very comfortable chairs. Not like the rocking chair reclining seats at AMC. But these are wonderful. It's a whole nice experience you can go and have some food and drinks in the pub even if you're not going to see a movie. But it's perfect place to go for dinner and a movie. A lot nicer than just dragging off to AMC for a ridiculously priced popcorn and Microwaved food. Definitely come here and check out the pub and of course catch a movie in the theaters downstairs The Theatre building itself is 100 years old. Downtown new Canaan is lucky to have this wonderful Theatre.

    Newly renovated theatre with first class seating, first class sound system, and first run movies…read more You really get your monies worth
