I was here to experience Neil Breen’s latest cinematic masterpiece, the first since the pandemic during the Thanksgiving weekend. I was in tears of laughter and felt more camaraderie from this screening than most others; this is why we celebrate the Breen. I also loved the beautiful artwork and ways that this cinema shares its use for the community. What a worthy nonprofit for artists and cinema fans alike! There’s a great bar with good food upstairs nearby for those who like to imbibe as well.

The Frida is the BEST for programming and vibe, but they need some improvement on the projection. Saw a 4:3 film on Thursday and the projectionist had it zoomed in to the wrong aspect ratio, so the top and bottom were cropped off the edge of the screen. We couldn’t even read the on-screen text because it was not ON SCREEN. It was partially fixed after about 45 minutes, but … how about a tech check prior to screening?PARKING: There is a parking garage behind the cinema. It’s cheap, I think I usually pay $1.50 to park for the evening.

The Frida Cinema is a great place to watch some old and new movies. We’ve also enjoyed the Tuesday’s at the Parklet series so much! Such an important way to reach out to the community via art and music.

Came here on August 5th for the 50th anniversary film showing of the iconic "Coffy" movie. Coffy is a 1973 American Blaxploitqtion film written and directed by Jack Hill. The story is about a black female vigilante played by the beautiful "Pam Grier" who seeks violent revenge against a heroin dealer responsible for her sister's addiction. This movie has an amazing soundtrack by the amazing musican "Roy Ayers". After the movie finished, we stuck around for a Q/A session with director Jack Hill. I got 2 posters signed by him and my pam grier coffy figurine signed. Thanks, Mr. Hill for the autographs. Thanks, Frida Cinema, for having us.

I give this place 5 stars because it's always clean and so are the bathrooms. Great job. The movies are awesome and it's a great place to go when you're bored. The staff is friendly and helpful. Better to go here than other theaters if you're on a budget. Be sure to donate to The Frida since it's a nonprofit. ? Can't beat the prices.

I live in Long Beach and this theater has such awesome film events that I make the drive as much as possible. Highly recommend checking out their movie marathons or double features as they are priced incredibly low and are such fun experiences. I would go more if I could!

We drove up from San Diego to see the T.S.O.L movie, Ignore Heroes. It was a rad, kitschy little theater. The staff were really friendly, and the concessions were reasonably priced. It was in a really cute part of town too

I love going to this small, independent theater to see all sorts of movies, particularly during Pride month. The staff are friendly and helpful and the seats are quite comfortable. Parking is a little tough, so I recommend parking in one of the structures behind the theater. While you're here, take a moment to appreciate the artfully designed mural above the confessions!

I love the Frida cinema, they show great movies we like to revisit once in a while. I was able to see "Tommy" as a tribute to Tina Turner in my mind. The staff was helpful with the condiments, the prices are very reasonable. I will continue to patronize this great theater.

Saw a full length Lego movie recreated by Huxley Berg Studios. It was Fantastic! Check him out on social media. The Frida Cinema is a "must go to" and support the theater. Charming, refreshing, and vintage by today's standards. Both are highly recommended!
