Reviews of Dedham Community Theatre (Movie Theater)

Nancy Murray

This theater looks like it did in the 1920s. It offers popcorn , teas, and European beers!! Few tables and chairs, and always an Art show from.local artists. I come often with friends

Maria Battaglia

Love this cozy historic movie house. Just go. Don't wait enjoy real time ambiance

Andrew Higham

I love this place. Lovely old cinema building, showing art circuit movies, with a dedicated local audience. You can get a meal, ice cream, or even catch a band in Dedham Square while you are about it.

Robert Mee

Great old art house. Don't live as close so don't go as often but worth the trip when I do.

Eli Reusch

The building, especially in the theaters, definitely needs some TLC, but they always bring the best movies. Also, you can't beat real butter on your freshly popped popcorn.

Gary Platteis

Super nice old theatre, with old fashioned popcorn, and a great bunch of folks that are welcoming and knowledgeable - and darn proud of their little corner of the universe! Also, the men’s room is clean, retro, and nicely looked after. Can’t speak to the ladies room. They seem to run flix ya gotta think about. Most recently really enjoyed Lady Bird. Karen & company, you guys are great!

Nancy Zesch

Love the home town feeling

Went here to see The Farewell. I enjoyed coming to this theater more than I had thought I would. Obviously, it's not like the typical chain movie theater. It has character and it was a pleasant evening out at the movies without lines to wait in, sticky floors, loudness of any kind (except for the movie). I'll be coming back, for sure.

Step back in time this comminity theater is dated but has enough to handle the boutique film audience.

Lisa Makara

Loved this place. Two screens, super old school, and it has beer and wine!

Caleb Brown

Great movies in a somewhat funky setting, this old vaudeville space in downtown Dedham plays is well curated and reasonably priced. You can even grab a beer while you watch.

Joey Merced

Quaint and the popcorn was some the best I've had at a theater. A hidden gem.

Cesc Tort

Really beautiful place, as soon as you are in, you are transported to those cinemas we had in the past, in the 70s ... You are not going to find these cinemas in Spain or very difficult to find them. Well done!

Harvey Grasfield

Always the best Indie movies in an intimate old theatre.

Richard Wright

Lovely small independent local theater.

The Dedham Community Theatre is located in the middle of Dedham Square. This quaint renovated theatre. All the movies that are here are good ones. They have welcoming staff, fresh popcorn and beverages, even wine. The theatre is comfortable and fun because of t's old fashion charm. The are many coffee shops and restaurants in the square for before or after the movie enjoyment!

irene berg

Great independent movies. Parking can sometimes be tight. Theatre serves wine and popcorn, hits the spot. Enjoy the area visiting other stores.

sonia ann leon

The best theatre with tons of hospitality and charm

Kevin Murphy-Ferguson

Super charming theater, somehow aged gracefully and looks like it did in it's heyday. Snack bar is great and serves candy popcorn, beer and wine.

Joanne Mullowney

A wonderful movie experience and a walk down memory lane with its architecture and atmosphere. Great fun!!!

Tara Nacopoulos

Dropped my phone under the seat only to retrieve it covered in mouse droppings..

Susan Kryczka

The way movie going should be. Uncomplicated. Easy to park. Pay your money, walk in, enjoy.

Patricia M

I absolutely love, love, love this place!! I like that I can enjoy a beer or wine w/ my movie. Popcorn & candy are available as well. It is a Community Theater. It used to have the Museum of bad art which is now at Davis Sq theater. ( another great spot). It does not have the huge reclining seats. It has two theaters. It is the closest theater to me ( 10 min from my home). You are supporting a local theater, not a massive superplex with 12, 18 theaters.

Karen Dauer

Love this movie theatre. Great choices in movies- not the mainstream. Delicious home made popcorn.

Josephine Spiegel

Great choice of movies and welcoming staff!

mariana wolf

Always the best movies, friendly staff, old time charm!

Denise Maguire

Our favorite theater - a true community gem! Never overwhelming, noisy or chaotic. Always terrific films that they will hold onto if there is demand, lessening the fear of missing a good film! An adult's theater, fairly priced with fresh coffee!

Ellen D

A local gem. Quality films, great snacks (even beer!), friendly staff, pretty theatre.

Jed Doherty

My wife loves this theater. I don't. It is an old theater, nothing special. Lots of old folks seem to dig it

Catherine Murphy

Love this place more than my own hair color

Melissa Quinn

Love this theatre. I just wish they had cookies

Eric Karten

Quaint locally-owned dual screen theater.

Diane Rosen

They always have great movies!

Shaw McDermott

Superb for the last 60 years, and better yet in the last two decades under the McMurtry mantle.

Mrs. Garland H. Hunt

Great local theater!!! I dislike the multi-plex-cinema-plex-quadaplex mall stadium movie theaters for particular films. Dedham is just right, like the Cable Car in Providence, RI.

Elayne Clay

Love this quaint theater

Jansen Wendlandt

Better maintained than most old-time/historical theaters. The seats were comfortable at first, but the cushions showed their age towards the end of the movie. The projector is a bit loud, so sit further from the back if the background noise will bother you.

Bill Manley

Great place to see independent film

Sheila Driscoll

Have gone to this theater for years. Always shows the best films.

Christopher Woodruff

I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else

Dave Margolis

Wonderful local theater showing art house films. A dying breed.

Eileen McDonnell

I enjoy going to this theater very much. There's free parking, plenty of places to get coffee and eat before or after the movie. It's a secret gem.

Jules Nohra

Local theater with lots of character and great concession stand. Movies are typically independent movies that you otherwise can't watch anywhere else. Staff is always friendly.

Cameron Beck

Dedham Community Theatre is from the pre-multiplex era and has all the feel of a small town movie theater--which, of course, it is. Let's start with parking which is never a problem. The theater is on Dedham Sq. Across the street is a free town lot. The two screens are perfectly adequate for he types of movies shown. In other words, no SurroundSound etc. But your viewing "experience" will be fine. Plenty of seating. These are not little "slot" auditoriums. The DCT tends to show off-beat, quirky, independent films. The refreshment counter is fully stocked. One can order beers and more. The staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful. I believe that the theater is protected by a law that states its building cannot be used for anything other than showing movies. So it will be around longer than you or I. Give it a try. It's a good little movie house.

Debbie Callahan
