Absolutely would keep coming back. We loved the intimate setting and the fact they offer films that arent offered everywhere else. During the pandemic, its great to see that they are adapting by offering Virtual viewings. Cinema Detroit is truly a Detroit gem!

This a great little place to go to the movies. If you wanted to take a date to the movies Id say this is a much better idea than going to AMC it some other giant chain, unless you are seeing some super special effects film like Star Wars. Great atmosphere, great spot pretty close to some good dining options. Staff was really friendly. I went for Rocky Horror Picture so it was also fun throwing things indoors and yelling at the screen. Definitely will be going back with some friends.

Very nicestoners did not shoot mecould do with more food (only rocks and hot dogs)

Cinema Detroit is a great experience for anyone who calls themselves a film fanatic. The screening rooms are intimate and unique, the experiences authentic with minimal advertisements, and the staff which is made, up of the two founders, are attentive and hard working. They go to great efforts of bringing film selections that are at the cross point of independent films and popularity, so there is always something worth watching here. Take time to visit, you wont regret it

Interstellar Experience compared to traditional theatre.. heavy rains blackened the grid.. yet the show was ready. The Live Score and talented band ready.. the godfather of vampire movies.. LOVE. Support art and this place

Cozy, locally owned-feel Cinema. I went for Rocky horror picture show. They offered really good prop bags. They sold good snacks/drinks - no alcoholic beverages though. Staff was nice :)

This place gives you that beautiful old Hollywood charm.

Unfortunately, there is a real problem with the sound quality. There is insufficient sound proofing in each theatre so you can clearly hear other movies playing next door which is way too distracting and ruins the experience. It makes you not want to return and drive all the way out to Royal Oak instead. It’s really too bad because everything else is great for an indie theatre and I’d rather support the small guys. The last time I visited was in August 2019 so I may try it again and hopefully be able to give a better review.

The best little art house in Metro Detroit. They seem committed to honoring local film makers as well as indie films that might not make it to big screens. The small theatre and rooms make the movie-going experience more intimate and immersing and the owners are almost always there helping with snacks and tickets. Its definitely a place dedicated to the art of film rather than making money which I appreciate. Would recommend to anyone!

Small theatre, that makes you feel like you are at home. My group loved the venue. Yes, I would go back. But there is some temperature control issues.

Great space that supports Detroits Film Community! I attended a Free Screening for Black Panther during its release as well as a Screening & Panel Discussion surrounding a documentary, My Girl Story, I did Voiceover (VO) Narration for in 2019.One of many local Movie Theaters! I like the personality of the bathrooms. Looking forward to them offering healthier snack options Vegans & Vegetarians can enjoy. If youre looking for a venue space to Premiere your next short film, look no further.

Awesome little indie theater in Detroit. They actually sell candy for a reasonable price. Who would have imagined in 2019.They only show a couple films at a time, but if you like indie films, youll assuredly want to enjoy them at this quaint theater.

If youve never been here, what are you waiting for? There is no place like this. Wonderful staff & great selection of films & events. Local businesses like this deserve our support.

Wonderful atmosphere, and kind staff. I would gladly reccomend visiting at least once.

Tired of big box cinema? Quaint theater, comfortable intimate seating. Parking on site. Old films. New films. Adventure awaits you. Great restaurants in the area. A wonderful evening with friends.

Not at all what I expected, but it was a really enjoyable experience! We saw a movie in the smaller theater, seats for maybe 16-20 people? We sat on one of the couches and it felt like watching a movie in a nice home theater. Picture quality and audio were better than expected. Great prices and concessions and friendly staff. I was also happy about the parking lot, it was easy to just pull up and go right in. We can’t wait to go back!

What a lovely gem right in the heart of the city! Who says you cant see a movie in Detroit. Love it and I will be back.

Always quality movies. Love supporting this local, independent movie house.

Paula and Tim are the best! Great movie opening for Tiempo Compartido with special guest Sebastián Hofmann...

I love both theaters, especially the smaller, cozy screening room with the couches.

Very nice, clean, theater. I would love to rent out and host a party...

Went with my son to see Combat Obscura, the venue and the movie made a great treat for both of us. Some of the upcoming movies looked really interesting, I think I would go back to see them. Definitely out of the norm. Total Detroit feel to it in that it isnt gentrified and speaks to the artistic movement that started the positive growth. Good to see and be part of that.

Great little theatre. Very intimate. I like how they added the newer seats. This is my main theatre. I live the fund they choose to show there. VERY cheap concessions also. Go, you will be very pleased you did.

I was really excited to check this place out. Ticket prices were reasonable, concessions were cheap and tasty, and it seemed like it was just a cool place to see a movie. HOWEVER, before the movie started (Us, 2019), we [the entire audience] could very clearly hear what must have been another theater, someone blaring their TV, or something like that. The movie started and this noise clearly was not going away. Understandably, I could hear multiple groups of people complaining about it and a few folks got up within the first few minutes of the movie to go ask about it. They all came back more upset than before. From what I could overhear, there was apparently nothing that could be done about the noise. I mean, it was legitimately LOUD. A film like Us is one that uses silence very well and strategically; however, all the theater could hear during those quiet moments was Investigation Discovery (or some other true crime show... from what I could tell). I was really disappointed. The theater desperately needs more soundproofing. It has brick walls, hard ceilings, and concrete floors. Very little acoustic damping or general insulation anywhere. Based on other reviews, it seems that our experience was unusual, but I definitely will not return until theyve addressed the issue.

Great venue with top movies in the middle of midtown!

Amazing venue! Was our first visit there and we absolutely loved it. Comfortable and eclectic. Cant wait for our next visit! Saw the new Lizzie movie; highly recommended.

This is a great little place to see movies the bigger theatres dont show. Make sure to get there early to grab a comfy seat as busier shows may end up using folding chairs

Its the only full-time, seven-days-a-week cinema in Detroit proper!

Couldnt hear the dialogue in the movie, yet could hear everything in the next room over. Also the woman at the concession stand was very short with customers

Good movies, Great staff, service. Takes me back to Redford, Norwest theaters.

Great art theater right in midtown.

Had a blast at the Rocky Horror Picture Show showing.

Super cute theatre, great way to spend an evening

Great little theatre. I always sip a can of Faygo red pop during the movie.

Fine, intimate artsy cinema. We were at the space for a premiere. I helped set it up and it was perfect and comfortable for the hundred people attending.

This is a great, independent, local theater that consistently shows an excellent mix of Hollywood, indie and art films, along with being a host venue for a number film festivals and other events. The auditoriums are small and have a cool industrial look. Image and quality are very good even without Dolby Atmos, Laser Projectors or other modern film presentation gimmicks. Prices are reasonable and the seats are comfortable though not entirely connected to the floor. My only complaint would be that theres no slope to the floor so if someone tall sits in front of you or if youre short, seeing the complete screen can be hard. The trade off, though, is that the front row is the best place to sit unlike in other theaters.

Intimacy, reminds me of the good old days when my mental capacity could flourish! The stone walls, part of the Wayne State campus. Very charming!!!

This is a great place to see a film. The audience is always made up of polite, serious filmgoers. Friendly staff. Parking right outside the door. Support this gem!

Fantastic local theatre in Midtown. All the best indie movies at a reasonable price. They serve popcorn, Faygo and varied candy snacks. Recommend seeing a film here if you’re in the area for the day or night.

Only been once but really enjoyed!

I just went there and it was an amazing experience!!! I took my high school AP class to see a documentary and they loved the atmosphere. The staff was amazing!! I will definitely be taking my classes back to see other documentaries.

Always a great selection of movies

A kind of mom and pop art house theater showing smaller movies, not your blockbuster summer movies, but still very good. They serve soft drinks and ginger beer.Near the college campus in Detroit.

Good local movie house. Need to tune the sound in the auditorium for better vocal quality.

Love this neighborhood theater! Cozy and intimate with a good variety of films.

Friendly staff, limited selection due to size of theater but they always have something interesting screening

Intimate and low key vibe. Perfect spot to actually take in current blockbusters without the crowds.

This is a local independent cinema full of character and charm. Prices were reasonable and I would definitely go there again. Not a crazy crowded place - very low key and fun.

We had a great time at the dog-friendly showing of Isle of Dogs! Fun event, friendly staff, great movie and snack prices! Will definitely be back:

This indie theatre has a great selection of films and reasonably priced concessions. They may not have the state of the art equipment but the seating is comfortable and theyre super friendly. If a film is playing here Id choose it over any big name theatre.

Was a nice theater Private and comfortable friendly staff

Love this indy theater....it is quite charming & quaint

Great neighborhood theater. Clean bathrooms. Great snacks. Friendly staff.

Two friends and I saw Loving here on Friday 12/15. We loved the movie and the Cinema Detroit experience. We are all residents of Midtown and live right around the corner. Its great to have such a unique theater so close by. It was our first visit, but we have made plans to come back again and again.

It was great i will be back

Attended the short film showing for the FREEP film festival. Like the free adjacent parking and friendly staff. If you are short, suggest sitting near the front as the seating is all in the same plane.

Great atmosphere and services

I really enjoy seeing movies here. The theater is small which makes for intimate viewings. The showings are typically independent films or documentaries. Ive heard people complain about the seating, but it hasnt bothered me. I also like that the concessions are more reasonably priced than traditional theaters and you can get LaCroix or gingerbeer as a beverage.

Great place to see arthouse movies and documentaries

Super cute and quaint indie theater. The staff was really nice and they had Faygo and reasonably priced concessions- always a plus! Hope to be back soon.

Small, art house cinema in Midtown. We were in the screening room for our movie, where the seats are a hodgepodge of vintage sofas and chairs. Picture quality is pretty good; the screening room could use some more soundproofing.

Pretty decent art house. Popcorn is made to order (so expect to wait a bit). Sound is awful - no center channel. Seats are in great condition - I’d say close to new, but it’s traditional seating, meaning if you sit in any row aside from the first 3-5 front rows, viewing the screen is horrible. No sound proofing or dampening on the walls, ceiling, or floor. This is as art house as they come. Staff was lovely.

I took both of my daughters and son-in-law to see Donnie Darko. We all loved the unique atmosphere of the theater with the exposed brick, and the comfort of the genuine theater-style seating. There is a cool lounge area near the concessions (which were super affordable, BTW), and it was a nice place to sit for a few after the film. Apparently, a couple from the area owns and runs the theater themselves, and from what I can tell, they are doing an excellent job. We will definitely be back! (Hopefully for Rocky Horror later this month!)

They show movies the multiplex wont show.

Really cozy theater with good prices. I was able to get two tickets, a large popcorn, and 2 la croix and I didn’t feel like I was spending a fortune.

Very special movie theater, small and intimate. Movies are exclusively shown here. Clean friendly environment.

One of the only theaters in Detroit that shows watchable movies.

The screening room we were in sat about 16 on a variety of couches and chairs. Obviously building still being worked on but bathroom was nice, it was clean and comfortable, price was terrific and snacks were very good. Probably not the place to see the next Star Wars, but was very comfortable and staff were great. Has off-street parking lot too.

...the most personable, down-home, hip experience since it was a Picture Show.

Favorite movie theater

Good movies nice folks nothing fancy

Not fancy. Good theater will excellent selection of films

More people should come here

Great location and movie selection. Wish I had started going to this theater earlier. I cant wait to check out the sun dance film festival week.

Really cool indie arthouse theater. Single screen, small and cozy. Feels like if Mom and Pop opened a movie theater.

Indie venue for indie films! Gracious and accommodating staff, comfortable seating and healthier snacking options than your traditional theatre. Support this great Detroit business!

Everything was great the movie was clear the sound perfect the selection wear outstanding popcorn great parking great love love love this cinema you should come

When you go in, you need to remember small art house-style theater. The seating is a mix of couch, living chairs and kitchen chairs. There isnt a huge selection at the concessions stand, but the prices arent outlandish, and there are some uniquely Detroit features on offer.

Love this place, small but comfortable seating and good popcorn.

Go see a movie and support indie film!

Very cool art house

Nice place! It was refreshing to stay in town an see a movie and there only 9 bucks.

This place is awesome! The owner is extremely kind and it was a very comfortable atmosphere.

Watch folm

One of my favorite spots to see a movie

Very unique, repurposed space. They have two screens. The bigger one is what you would most want to view something on as the sound can bleed into the other room.

Small independent theater with great seats, sound and popcorn. Only thing that could be better would be adding an adult beverage.

Has a geniune neighborhood feel, a freshing change from branded boredom

The Best Indie Theater. Period!

I’ve visited this establishment many times. I’ve dealt with the most uncomfortable seats in the world, the terrible sound affect, just this past winter a day after big snow fall there parking lot wasn’t cleaned of the snow Then finally this Sunday 10/01/17 Iwent to see the 530 Columbus movie and it was showing in the tiny screening room. The noise was so loud from the other theater you clearly hear it in The screening room. I went and said something to the owner (glasses semi bald guy) he said he would turn the sound down. He never did. Sound level was still the same. When the movie got out I complained to his wife Blond Hair Glasses about why he didn’t lower the noise. She rolled her eyes at me and said he did and was telling me something about the sound level this high dialogue this high, talking to me like a little child rolling her eyes. Weird thing is this doesn’t happen at The Michigan Theater or Main Art where you hear noises from the other theater.I didn’t enjoy the movie because of the noise and the owners weren’t concerned about my complaints they roll their eye’s at you and lie to you. I’ve spent my last dime at this dump.

Well kept theater - never have any issues with booking , getting seats and everyone is very friendly.

One of the best movie houses in the area!

Creative, unusual and friendly venue. Affordable tickets.

This was my best experience with a theater and I had a few... two beautiful projection rooms, a great service and a free pool in the boys room... what else could you ask for? Nothing, thats right you dingus! So go!

Quaint theatre to catch a movie not far from home.

Cozy theater right in my neighbor hood.. first run films and superb popcorn!

Very intimate theatre with couches and small rooms.

Great folks, I love the feeling of this space, it’s a memory of the Martha Washington in Hamtramck ! The popcorn is really good, with Fargo pop.

A Detroit gem. Large theatre room and a small intimate theaterReasonable concession prices.

Excellent small theater. Super friendly staff, great location and overall great experience.
