Great location. Friendly staff. Clean and nice theater.

A unique experience and carries the best films.

Great movies and a great place to see them.

The Charles shows movies you don’t see elsewhere and for the most part I love the theater. However sometimes showings are too quiet and it’s hard to hear the dialogue. Also we just saw First Reformed which is filmed in 4:3 and they didn’t mask off the screen to fit. Otherwise, though, great theater. We also love Tapas next door and that we can bring sangria from there to the theater.
