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.

Le cinéma moderne, c'est malheureusement terminé pour moi! En tant que client , spectateur ou potentiel loueur de salle, je me suis retrouvé, à chaque fois, devant une attitude hautaine voire méprisante. La promesse d'un cinéma de quartier abordable & passionné n'est absolument pas tenue à mes yeux. C'est dommage car la programmation est vraiment diversifiée.

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 😁
