This place rocks. The rest of this review is only to meet the minimum length requirement for yelp reviews, heh, imagine that. Failing to meet a length requirement. Couldn’t be me, No way José. Not in a million years. But yeah this place rocks.

This is such an amazing theater filled with nothing but love! I’ve been coming to this place for years and what’s nice is that I know I’m supporting a non-profit theater. They’re always helping the community, supporting local small filmmakers, proving something beautiful and wholesome and just being so well put together.

The Frida Cinema is a force to be reckoned with! And a non-profit at that. A place that offers documentaries, the classics, foreign cinema, and everything else outside the mainstream world. This cinema is one of the only few running that do this. There is nothing like it.

This theater is seriously awesome! If you ever need the perfect place to watch independent films, foreign films, cult classics, or basically anything interesting you won’t typically find in mainstream media, this is it.

LOVE this theater..OMG. I’ve been here several times now for different events. I’ve attended 2 of the 3 Scott Pilgrim events thrown by Cinemattack.

Very collegiate, which I loved! All in all pe… Read more

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.

My new favorite theater! Such a friendly atmosphere and the staff is super friendly too. I’ve only been twice after discovering this gem about a week ago. I can’t wait to come back and view more movies here.

I love this place! I’m one of the former “regulars” a The New Beverly Cinema in L.A. and I’m so glad I don’t have to drive all the way out there for my art house, vintage, cult and special film events. I love the fact that they’re a non-profit organization.
