Fodor's Review:
Occupying a squat, barnlike building from 1890, the Brattle Theatre is set improbably between a modern shopping center and a Colonial mansion. The resident repertory company gained notoriety in the 1950s when it made a practice of hiring actors blacklisted as Communists by the U.S. government. For the last half century it has served as the square's independent movie house, screening indie, foreign, obscure, and classic films, from nouveau to noir.
