Beautiful old fashioned theatre with well-curated art house and mainstream films. Staff is nice and seats wide and comfy. Good parking and nice small city vibe with restaurants and shops all around to visit

Great Place to watch a Film!

The Avon theater is a historic building and has been a movie venue for a long time. They make an effort to show interesting and off the beaten path films. At this visit we saw the first James Bond film,with recently deceased Sean Connery. 1962 I think; Dr. No. They are offering a series of Sean Connery as James Bond in chronological order. Very Nice. At this visit the popcorn was not the greatest, but the personel, seating and movie was fine.

Awesome theater. lots of foreign, independent and documentary films, in a classic cinema atmosphere.

Love the vibe. The place feels really authentic and the employees are awesome. They know a lot about movies. Im definitely going back. Even the pop corn was good. It had the perfect amount of butter

Seats were upgraded since the last time we were there. Very comfy. Always a great selection of art house movies.

They seem to have approximately the same schedule of films as the Angelika in NYC, about one or two weeks later. A nice suburban alternative if you dont want to travel to the city to see these films. Also, both theaters are beautifully restored.

I stopped by this time to see Bong June Hos Parasite. As usual, a lovely theater. Very clean.

Very nice, more personal and vintage style theater.Lovely ladies room!..... Coffee and tea, and healthy snacks available. Friendly staff.

Neat venue. Was showing an Oscar nominated film we couldnt find elsewhere.

Old school Arty/Indie theater. Main screen is very cool and plenty of legroom.

Best local theater for important and non-mainstream movies

Our favorite movie theater. Always high quality, curated films. Some are prior to wide release and others more suitable to a limited audience. Always highly regarded films, Al la Jacob Burns in Pleasantville, NY

Cozy and comfortable indie theater with a great selection of movies and concessions.

The best! Not for profit organization presenting motion pictures that are known for artistic strength in writing, acting, and production. Frequent events and special screenings with invited guests such as actors or producers. Memberships available and encouraged.

Great place to view International/Indie films.Love the Staff and intimate environment they create.Everyone just seems so informative and helpful.Thanks for the good time!!

Very cool independent movie theater.

Beautiful theater. Serves beer.

Every city should have a small vintage theatre. A great spot for small independent movies and documentaries. They even do the occasional cult classic on weeknights. The concession stands are fairly priced and the theatre was recently remodelled too boot. Go there and enjoy this local wonder.Given that the Avon is a non-profit teachers can apply for a educator pass which gets them into regular showings at no charge.

One of the best places in Fairfield County! Somewhat of a well-kept secret in this 1939 restored cinema. Excellent films with a lot of diversity. Great staff. The best popcorn in town. And people are really serious about watching the movie as opposed to talking.

Classic & historic, for off-main films

LOVE the old - time look of the theater. Its actually larger than it looks from the outside. And even though it is a smaller venue, everything is in good shape, seats are clean and comfortable. Cute, small concession stand.

Historic wonderful cinema, enjoy beautiful innovative films in a real film house, or should i say, a REEL film house?

Awesome local biz - but only the main theater is special. The smaller screen is not the same experience. Great location.

Nothing short of dreadful. Narrow, very old seats with little padding, and armrests with no padding--your arms will sit on hard plastic ribs. The screen is unusually small--somewhat larger than a home theater, but not much larger. would never go back in 100 years.

Interesting old movie house.

Had a great time Viewing the film one vote

Great old theater. perfect atmosphere to enjoy a classic movie.

Absolute, total treasure. Without it, downtown Stamford would be a total wasteland of expensive, ugly food and bars (I take that back, there is also the Library). 130,000 people in this city and at least there is one truly great and affordable venue for culture. Thanks for being there!

Old school movie theater in every sense. They have 1 very large and one smaller theater and they stick mainly limited release films. The staff is always very friendly and its great to be able to see new movies that wouldnt otherwise be shown at the normal theaters.

I loved the look from outside it felt like something from small town America

Very nice theatre and delicious popcorn with butter.

Great little independent film venue. Great staff.

Good movies.....but they stopped accepting MoviePass.

Beautiful, classic-style movie theater. Its like going back in time and its a very pleasant experience.

Old school ambiance with a quirky staff and excellent film selections. Best popcorn in town.

Attended a documentary screening & social activism panel event held here. Facility is warm and well kept, staff was friendly and helpful despite a miscommunication about our event, and the surrounding neighborhood is charming.

Beautiful local theater with excellent indie film selections.

Can always get a seat in this cozy, attractive theater.

This place has character - a nice reminder of Stamfords history and culture

I love the customer service from their staff.

Still a really great theater.

Always impressed with the film selection.

Charming theater with a small but lovely selection. Who needs 12 bad movies when they pick 2 good ones for you to see!

Very nice old theatre that plays independent and classic movies.

Nice place

Love their choice of movies

Great movies, great staff & great fun.

Great film selection, charming and friendly staff.
