The Nightlight Cinema

Great local non-profit theater. Art house stuff, special events, decent but slow bar staffed by volunteers. You feel good about spending money here to have cool stuff in a smaller city.

A cinema for people who love film.nnAny time an independent movie comes out, I always check out to see if it's playing here first. Unlike the big chains, you don't need to worry about people talking throughout the movie, playing on their phones, or generally being rude. Every time I've gone here, I have had a wonderful experience, and cannot express enough how lucky we are to have the Nightlight here in our city. The theater is small, but cozy, and there is a real atmosphere of love for film, both the staff and the other patrons.

The Nightlight in Akron is as cool and eclectic as it gets for chasing independent and foreign films locally in Akron, Ohio. The cream rises to the top here with informed charming staff and interesting, award winning films. Worth a check out and membership to support local cinema.

Really great independent theatre. Staff is very kind. They show lots of awesome movies that you might not see at one of the big theatres. They have a bar, and themed drinks for every movie they show. Seats are comfortable, especially if you sit in the very front. I have seen 3 things here, and I will keep coming back.

I can't help but to notice so many great reviews,then in a CPL small patches,and a few occasional one star totally negative ratings just show up. I don't know if you have a competitor, disgruntled employee,partner,or what but it seems as if someone has it out for you. I myself find it hard to believe that 99% are real between the John Smith type names,and the fact that all these bad reviewers have one review accredited to there name it seems a bit fishy. I won't even go into how there entire experience was bad,etc anyway I hope you open back up soon,so I can be there to experience what so many others seem to enjoy! Good luck
