Review Summary

Cinéma Moderne is widely regarded as a charming, intimate destination for film lovers in Montreal, offering a curated selection of repertory and independent movies in a cozy, aesthetically pleasing setting. Many patrons praise the personalized experience, including brief, insightful film introductions and the convenience of having an on-site café and bar that serves drinks and snacks. While the atmosphere, cleanliness, and friendly staff contribute to a positive experience, common criticisms include the high price point for refreshments, rigid ticket policies that prevent exchanges or refunds, and discomfort caused by the current theater seating. Despite these drawbacks, the venue is frequently celebrated as a unique neighborhood gem that provides a respectful, distraction-free environment for enjoying classic and niche cinema.

On a la chance à Montréal d'avoir des cinémas de quartier & Cinéma Moderne est l'ultime cinéma de quartier, avec sa salle qui accueille juste assez de personnes pour une expérience agréable, la programmation avec des nouveaux films mais aussi beaucoup de films qui datent un peu plus. On a accès à un magnifique café/bar pour boire du bon vin durant un bon film & que dire du café!

Magnifique cinéma indépendant. J'y ai vu Angel's Egg de Mamoru Oshii (original avec sous-titres) en restauration 4K ainsi que plus récemment Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind de Michel Gondry aussi en nouvelle restauration 4K. Leur programmation est variée avec beaucoup de séances spéciales & films restaurés. Ils ont aussi un mignon café/bar. J'apprécie pouvoir amener mon matcha latte dans la salle. Je recommande aussi la limonade & le popcorn frais avec levure alimentaire. Les employés sont gentils. Overall super agréable & je reviendrai souvent. :)

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.
