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.

Loved the cinema. Loved the food. Is there something else that I'm missing out on 😌

An independent cinema in this economy? They get all my love & support! They screen a lot of films that are older, local, or off the beaten path, so I always discover something that I've never heard of, or that I've always meant to see but hadn't.

Un cinéma vraiment unique a Montreal: une toute petite salle mais très confortable, le son est superbe & la.programmmatiom différente des cineplex & autres. On aime vraiment les soirées rétrospectives, voir the big Lebowski au cinéma pour la première fois avec toute la salle qui connait le film par coeur avec un White Russian sur le thème est une expérience incroyable. Une soirée Blade runner serait incroyable 😁

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.

This is a very good theater to see movies that disappear from the mainstream movie houses downtown too soon or others that don't get shown anywhere else. It's a relatively small place but the seats are comfortable. Also there is a good variety of snack food, sandwiches & beer as well as popcorn.

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.

très bon cinéma offre des films moins connus mais qui sont des chef d'oeuvres. Les prix sont raisonnables & la salle est intime & chaleureux. Les fauteuils sont très confortables. Une belle place pour décoller de les problèmes de nos vies. amusez-vous !

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.
