TESTIMONIALS

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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. I had the pleasure of attending “The Decline of Western Civilization” screening with director Penelope Spheres doing a Q&A. 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. I think it’s truly amazing what the staff and everyone involved is doing for the … Read more

Went to The Frida Cinema today to see a 3 o’clock showing of The Void, which was listed on their home page. When I got there, I saw the marquee said the first show was at 5. I went in & asked what time The Void was playing and they said 5 — but they could run it for me at 3. That’s customer service above & beyond! Thanks to The Frida Cinema for making one very happy customer that didn’t have to go home & drive back 2 hours later.
