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.

Une vraie perle pour les amateurs de cinéma, que je recommande sans hésiter. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & accueillante, avec une programmation qui sort des sentiers battus & met en valeur des films de grande qualité.

Les drinks sont délicieux, assortis aux saisons, & les plats à partager sont parfaits pour un petit apéro. Le parfait spot à date!!!

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!

Imagine going to a theater & ordering a drink that comes in a glass, & a popcorn that comes in a stainless steel bowl. Then you get to sit in a theater with your pal & watch a well projected, good sounding movie.

Really dope little cinema with a great selection of films! Has a cute bar with great drinks that you can take into the movie. First 1-3 rows a bit uncomfortable & the staff wasn't super friendly that night but maybe also just had a ruff day. Would recommend definitely!
