Review Summary

Cinéma Moderne is described as an intimate, small repertory cinema with a strong program of independent, art-house and world films and occasional retrospectives that invite discovery. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a bar and cafe that serve good coffee and beers, popcorn, and brief staff introductions to films that add a hint of personality, even as some find the drink prices high and the overall value not always matched by the cost. Seating is a common point of contention, praised for its coziness but criticized for uncomfortable chairs and limited neck support, with some reviewers noting a desire for upgrades while others appreciate the charm of the space and the focus on the film; a few comments mention minor issues like occasional bugs and the need to arrive early due to a small venue. The programming and audience culture are often highlighted, including a no-phone policy during screenings, a respectful crowd, multilingual trigger warnings, and the chance to explore titles not easily found elsewhere, which makes it ideal for cinephiles and those seeking a quiet night with friends. A practical caveat is the venue's cancellation policy, which does not offer refunds or exchanges for cancellations, a factor to consider given the advance booking required for this intimate setting.

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!

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...

A technically solid cinema for sound & projection. Great selection of drinks & snacks. Nice staff. Reasonable prices. Fantastic programming. Seats...not so much... Difficult sitting more than 90 min But worth going

I had been looking forward to going back to Cinema Moderne after a few years. The movie we went to see was great, & this was not a surprise because they have a great film selection. Unfortunately, my experience was soured as, two key elements of movie going were lacking. There was no popcorn & no air conditioning, which because it was a Summer day, upon entering the theatre it just smelled like sweat. -- J'avais hâte de retourner au Cinéma Moderne après quelques années. La film qui nous sommes allés voir était excellent, & ce n'était pas une surprise car ils ont une bonne sélection de films. Malheureusement, mon expérience a été gâchée par l'absence de deux éléments clés d'une cinéma. Il n'y avait pas de pop-corn & pas d'air conditionné. Comme c'était un jour d'été, en entrant dans la salle ça sentait la sueur. En tant que cinéma indépendant, je souhaite qu'il réussisse, c'est pourquoi je n'ai pas donné trois étoiles.

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!
