TESTIMONIALS

I recently rented the theatre for a six-day event and it was an incredible experience. The staff at the Frida is accommodating, helpful, and overall a pleasure to work with. The theatre has so much character and is such a gem! I would highly recommend the theatre for anything from just seeing a film to renting the space. I know I’ll be back here time and time again!

Had the pleasure of meeting Dolores Huerta at the screening of her documentary. Loved it very much. I’m glad a place like this exists in Orange county!

I had a chance to visit the Frida Cinema last night for a screening of the original 1954 Godzilla and had such a great time! They had a very informative Q&A session afterwards with knowledgeable Ishiro Honda biographers.They also had the lobby set up with merchandise tables and a book signing. Well done Frida!! Have more events like these please.

What a cool theater! This is a local Santa Ana gem that was just recently refurbished. They play great classic movies, and though we were here for an arts event, the historical charm just can be found the moment you step foot inside the lobby!

I love the Frida, as an avid movie watcher, it’s great to have a place to go where many classic, cult and underrated films are shown.

Her films are so historically important and impacted me at a very young age. I am forever grateful for the experience, like nowhere else would this be possible.

‘A Blast from the Past’ are the words I’d use to describe this tremendous jewel contained within the artsy downtown Santa Ana. …These people aren’t selling the next best thing in Hollywood, they’re promoting COMMUNITY!

This is a magical space. My first film experience here was Mullholland Drive, and I would have that no other way. The people that work there are all charming and fun to talk to. I really need to visit more often, as it’s just such a radical place.

Great independent theater with a fantastic staff. Everyone was friendly and efficient. They had great seats and sound!! If your a popcorn lover grab it. They have vegan butter. Taste great and healthy! Without the guilt! Thank you for showing Mandy!

What a gem. I’ve lived in Orange County for twenty years and never knew of a repertory theater here. I’d expect to drive to L.A. to find a venue as cool as this.
