5 Stars! “If Empire had a rating higher than five stars, this is one of very few movies that would earn it…Witty, suspenseful, sad, funny and wise, the film confronts an audience with its complicity in the stories they see, but also works up to one of cinema’s great hero-and-killer confrontations…Flawless, essential viewing” (Empire)

5 Stars! “Rear Window is one of the treasures of film” (San Francisco Chronicle)

4/4 Stars! “Rear Window, intended as entertainment in 1954, is now revealed as art.” (Roger Ebert)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
