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.

Great ambiance, love the cafe & bistro. Perfect for meeting your friends & chatting before the movie. & no stress cause you can bring it all in with you to watch the movie. A lovely gem for the plateau/mile end area.

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.

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!
