On the Grid : Cinema Beaubien

"Inaugurated in 1937, Cinema Beaubien is now the last local independent movie theater in Montréal. If you want to see the latest Michael Bay flick or the new superhero-action-packed blockbuster, you’re not in the right place. Here, the spotlights are on international and emerging talents. The theater is financed by non-profit organizations that recognize the importance of art and culture. It’s a historic place to take a break." - Alto Design

A historic cinema in Montreal! I loved how quaint it was. We went on a Tuesday when movies are inexpensive at $8.00! The rooms are small but surprisingly, the matinee gave us almost a full house! Their small snack bar is so very cute but it has everything one could want. They play many interesting local films which is awesome.

I had a fantastic experience at this cinema! The theater was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The sound and screen quality were top-notch, and I felt fully immersed in the movie. I also appreciated the variety of snacks and drinks available at the concession stand. Whether you're catching the latest blockbuster or a classic, this cinema offers a great atmosphere for movie lovers. I'll definitely be returning for my next movie night

A beautiful cinema with a warm atmosphere. The seating was very comfortable, and the staff were kind and welcoming, always with a smile. It was a truly pleasant experience—I’ll definitely be returning!

A lovely theater that mostly presents repertoire movies in French. Each theater room are small and general entry so you need to show up early to get good seats. Just like the old days! This adds a little something special that makes this venue a cute place to see movies.

All of the employees here are very nice. We went to see Flow and the rooms are small. You have to arrive pretty early to get the seats you want, like 30 min in advance at least. I suggest you buy your tickets online beforehand because there aren’t always some left if you buy them there in person.

Great neighborhood cinema in the heart of Rosemont la Petit Patrie. Good turnover of quality films from all over the world.

I was assaulted by some movie producer there on the premiere. He took me by my shoulders and pushed me out as I was trying to find a place to sit. Once out of the room he kept putting his hands on me and being aggressice. The staff did nothing about it.

Not my favorite theater in Montreal. The seating is older than others and not as lux. Also the brightness or contrast setting seemed less than other theaters in town. The blacks weren’t as deep as I have grown accustomed too. My hope is that this theater will be up for a refresh in the near future.

What a gem of an old-fashioned movie theatre! We need to keep these places alive by supporting local Québec filmmakers.

I'm not a big fan of movies in French, which is mostly what they play here, but I remember watching OG films like La Guerre des Tuques when I was a kid over there & loved the coziness of this cinema. Went a few times with my school, both in elementary and high school.

Most of the movies they offer are local movies, in Quebec French, produced for a local audience, with local actors, local themes, and quite frankly boring like most of Quebec productions. The distribution of the seats is rather awkward, they are placed on a semi-circle rather than completely frontal to the screen, in a straight line, like in most of movie theatres. They could have been a bit smarter and leave some space for people to circulate, particularly those who will be sitting at the end of the rows towards the sides, who by the way, will be watching the movie from a lateral angle. If you are sitting where I was you cannot leave your row without bothering those sitting at the center since there is no way to et up and walk by the wall. The seats are not precisely comfortable, the arm rests are made of plastic so after a while my arms were numb.

Definitely not at the caliber of the American cinemas that are strewn everywhere in Quebec. However the selection is of good quality. I went to a see a movie that I thought would've been of Quebec provenance, but instead was from France. I am aware of the French filmmakers doing good for their country, but wanted to be preparing myself to watch a Quebec movie and was sparky disappointed. Hopefully the next time I come by that will be the type of movie I watch, The popcorn size was normal compared to the supersize me proportions of American movie theatres.

This is one of those places that you check if there are no other options. They cater mostly to a Quebec French-speaking audience who prefers local movies with local actors and local stories, so do not expect big mainstream films let alone films in English. The seats are placed in unusual way and the seats are rather uncomfortable. They have a concession with candy bars, coffee, muffins, and popcorn but no place to sit down and enjoy the coffee since they have three halls and the space is somewhat compressed.
