Review Summary

Cinéma Moderne is described as a small, intimate cinema with an original program that centers on art house, classics and world cinema. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as cozy and welcoming, with a bar and cafe option for drinks or snacks before or after sessions. Staff are noted as kind and attentive, with some screenings preceded by trigger warnings in French and English. Audiences value a distraction free experience with no cell phones during the film. Programming draws cinephiles with retrospectives and carefully curated selections that are hard to find elsewhere. On the downside, seating is described as uncomfortable and lacking neck support, and the room is small so early booking is advised. Drinks and snacks can be pricey and not always exceptional. There are occasional issues such as bugs in the theater. A notable policy is that refunds or exchanges are not offered for cancellations, which is understandable for a small independent venue. Overall, it is seen as a gem that makes a strong case for Montreal cinema lovers to seek out this place.

Best place for a warm coffee & exquisite latte art.

Reminds one of the good old days of independent cinema theatres before the 1990s. Excellent repertoire & small, cosy hall. Particularly appreciated are the mini introductions to each film made by staff - super brief but they add a sense of personality.

It's great that they have a bar & mini cafe as well, & I would be happy to support it more if only the prices there were even somewhat more reasonable & friendly. The cocktails are painfully more expensive for what you get than even at fancy cocktail bars & something like a cortado is up to two dollars more than at any cafe. Yes, it's a premium offering & gives patrons somewhere to sit & wait for a movie but it leaves a sense of having been squeezed that taints an another highly positive experience there.

Un cinéma de répertoire, excellentes sélections. Des cinéphiles extrêmement respectueux (Pas de cellulaire durant le film!) On peut y prendre une consommation alcoolisée ou non & manger. Un cinéma à découvrir! Je serai de retour très bientôt! Merci!

My first time here was to see Perfect Blue. Small & cozy place. The people working here are kind & even though I've seen the movie before & knew what to expect, I appreciate that they took the time to give a trigger warning in French & English before the film. It's a pretty intense film & not everyone is prepared for how heavy it becomes.

Theatre was very clean which I appreciate. My only issue is with the seats. Not super comfortable, & not much support. But I read in another review that's a WIP, so I'm glad they're working on that to ensure guests have a great experience :)

I'll definitely be back soon!

I love everything about this place-except the chairs. They're honestly some of the most uncomfortable, back-breaking seats I've ever used. I'm not even that tall & still had almost no neck support. At times, my back hurt so much I couldn't even focus on the scenes. I really hope they invest in better chairs soon

Meilleur endroit où venir vivre sa mélancolie interne seul. Un bijou.

Ça fait du bien d'aller au cinéma & pas avoir à se soucier de distractions comme les retardataires & les cellulaires. Écouter un film c'est sacré je l'ai toujours dit!

Super sélection de films trouvables nul part ailleurs. Ça vaut la peine de jeter un coup d'oeil à la programmation pour remplir nos temps libres. Bon drinks & bonne bouffe aussi, surtout'L'autre' (c'est sur le menu). Bon film!

Le cinema où j'ai rencontré mon amoureuse!

Ils ont une des meilleures sélection de films à Montréal & de bons cafés/bonnes bières.

Le seul point négatif (quoi que compréhensible car il s'agit d'un petit cinéma indépendant), c'est qu'ils ne remboursent/n'échangent pas les billets en cas d'annulation, même pour une raison valable comme une maladie. Or, comme la salle est petite, il faut souvent acheter d'avance pour avoir une place...

It was a very cozy & nice cinema with bar. The IPA was awesome! & we enjoyed the outdoor seating while waiting for the movie to start! Just one thing downside, we didn't like was there were some bugs inside the theater room, hovering around our food, & we think we might've eaten some with our popcorn. Also the chairs are a bit crowded & don't have good neck support. Other than those, it was a great experience!

I love this place. The smell of coffee during a movie for me > way better than those big cinema places. I also love that i can experience' old' movies on a big screen for the first time, like Princess Mononoke in Japanese ! Super cool. The employees are always nice too. The latte is pretty decent too. Popcorn was good last time I went
