Riverview Cinemas 8 & Playhouse

Nice quiet easy access movie theater.

Would like the seats to all work, most are unplugged. Can’t move or use heat

nice little cinrmas

Good experience although place is getting tired.

Would really like more adult themed movies

Great local spot to catch a movie. Smaller theatre makes it more family centered. Great pricing on concessions with that couples deal.
Love the intimate nature of the theatre

You'll get spoiled if you start seeing movies at this place

Our favorite movie theater in the area. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and they always have fresh delicious popcorn. The recliners are amazing but sometimes too comfortable since I have fallen asleep. Highly recommend.

We love this theater. Small, locally owned, reasonable concession prices so we always get popcorn. Fantastic ticket prices, online purchasing available.
Seats are comfy, heated/cooled, recline. Definitely recommend seeing a movie here!!

When I pay almost $50 for 2 tickets, a medium popcorn and 2 drinks I think it wouldn't be so painful if the popcorn wasn't unbelievably stale, the recliner seat actually worked and didn't smell like dirty clothes , if the theater was clean and if I couldn't hear other movies playing during the movie.....yeah....that would have been nice....

Upon arrival on Saturday June 21st 2025 hitting traffic from danbury to southbury river view to watch 28 years later we had no time to eat our deli sandwich due to this theater playing 5 mins of previews. So we figure they dont make deli sandwiches we will go to nardellis and eat it there. Shouldn't be a big deal at all since we come here frequently and always buy popcorn drinks candy etc. James could approach the situation better bye understanding one time that due to traffic and timing does not always work out well to just waive a policy which doesn't make no sense at all. Because this business doesn't make sandwiches. I cant just eat popcorn after working hard all day long. So I get kicked out of a movie. Thats pity and frowed upon as I leave good word of mouth of this theater but not anymore. To me there should be leniency. And a bit understanding towards certain situations. Not happy at all. Bad customer service to clients who have came to this theater and recommendations for many years.

*James lied and said the theater was not busy. There was almost no where to sit at all! If I would of waited I would of not been able to sit anywhere decent in your theater start doing assigned seating with longer than 5 mins of previews

Extremely comfortable reclining seats helps make the movies much more enjoyable!

It's always a good experience to see a film in the comfort of the heated reclining seats at Riverview Cinema.

Friendly staff, good prices, comfortable and clean. I go as much as I can to support the theater since it’s not their fault the movies nowadays are mindless, agenda pushing slop!

Great stadium style seating. However, seats are starting to show wear and tear. Sound and picture quality is flawless.
