Review Summary

Cinéma Moderne presents an intimate, cozy setting with a strong film program, a warm coffee bar, and latte art that earns compliments, all in a small hall that invites lingering before and after screenings. Reviewers highlight the thoughtful repertory, occasional bilingual trigger warnings, and brief staff introductions that add personality. Concerns include high prices at the bar and cafe, the lack of flexible options for cancellations or credits, and seating that is not as comfortable as hoped, though improvements appear to be underway. Overall the atmosphere is friendly for cinema lovers seeking a distraction free experience and for those drawn to indie, art house, and retrospective titles, with many noting the venue as a must see and a reason to return. Suggestions for the future include better chairs, more budget friendly drinks, and broader language options in film selections.

A small yet chill cafe, the cinema is small but they play old & classic movies.

So happy to have discovered this cool little repertory cinema! The front area is a chill café, cozy & aesthetic. The theatre space is in the back. One of the employees introduced the film ('One Battle After Another'), offering some background on the director & the main actor, & inviting us to share our thoughts on the film with them afterwards. Felt so personal & inviting, a throwback to another time. Easy to get to - about a 10min walk from Metro Laurier... or can take the 55 bus up St-Laurent. A Montreal gem :)

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.

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...

Superbe petit cinéma avec une salle unique & un café à l'entrée qui sert de très bon chaï latte bien réconfortant (ou des cafés) que vous pouvez prendre avec vous dans la salle. La programmation est toujours impeccable avec des films d'auteurs aussi bien québécois qu'internationaux. Ce que j'aime le plus, c'est le petit mot d'intro avant chaque séance. Pas de pubs alors arrivez à l'heure & surtout mieux vaut réserver en avance. Je rêve d'une formule abonnement avec des tarifs avantageux.

It's a beautiful place but very small theatres! It has a cafe at the entrance & is nice to hangout after or before the film!

I really love this theater! They always play amazing movies-some modern & a lot from the past. They have a little bar & cafe inside. It's not a huge theater, so it's a nice experience. Compared to the Cineplex, Check out the listing & go check it out if you're a movie lover. You'd like it here.
