Editorial Review for Lincoln Plaza Cinemas – by Bilge Ebiri
The Scene
While the tiny screening rooms are often overcrowded, the location's great, close to both Lincoln Center and the Sony Lincoln Square theaters (in case you feel like catching "Big Momma's House" after seeing "East-West"). And the devoted staff is a big help in these days of clueless ushers and automated projection. Sadly, the audiences here--often made up of irritable cine-snobs and misanthropic cranks packed tightly together due to the sardine-style seating plan--can get pretty abusive. (Some, of course, might consider this part of the place's charm.)
The Draw
The films are nothing too fringe, please, but if it's Best Foreign Film Oscar-nominees you want, you've come to the right place. Many of the same foreign and independent films shown at the Angelika downtown make their uptown appearances here, often for longer runs. Fresh popcorn and gourmet sandwiches make for good munchies, but the dry cookies aren't big crowd-pleasers.
