Reviews of The Cape Ann Community Cinema (Movie Theater)

Ben Golding

Amazing.

Rory O'Connor

Really unusual Cinemas, one with about 50 armchairs of various kinds, beer and wine; the other with 17 seats (chairs). Great, relaxed spot, great movies, street parking.

There needs to be a sign at the top of the stairs, out side the door, informing patrons that, to buy tickets, they need to enter the door, ( QUIETLY, if there is another movie going on), and buy their tickets at the bar to the right. It is an unusual setup and needs some explanation for new patrons. We travelled from far to see the movie , arrived 1 1/2 hours early, but did not know to go inside, while another movie was playing , to get tickets. When we came back 20 minutes before the show, it was sold out. There were no signs to indicate that one should enter the theatre itself to get tickets at the back of the open room forum. There WAS a sign that asked to not disturb the ongoing performance, which I respected by not entering the theatre/living room, figuring we would get tickets just before the show time. The two ladies there were dismissive and defensive about my complaint that the situation was misleading and that they needed better signage. Obviously I was upset with the situation and probably caused them to be defensive. For my part, I offer my apologies I give one star only to attract attention to what I feel is an important point. I never had the opportunity to evaluate the entire experience.

Relaxing atmosphere, drink wine on the couches, enjoy a French movie.

Robin Smith

It is comfortable here my date even took a nap. Staff are friendly and down to earth. Great Sundance movies. So well decorated

Maria Hebbel

I love the tea in real china cups and the comfy couches, some with coffee tables. You can bring in you own food and you can buy beer or wine if you want to. Before the feature film they show interesting shorts that I always enjoy. You can see movies here that you can't see at mall theaters. Support this cinema, it's a real gem.

Diethmar Fajardo

It is a beautiful place, quiet and its people very friendly

Anne Kinigstein

Interesting movies and comfy seats- upholstered chairs and sofas. Intimate cinema experience.

Glenn Parker

A "living room" theater with mostly couches for seating, real popcorn, and a bar with beer and wine. The screen is not exactly gigantic, but the projection quality is fine. The selection of movies is artsy and eclectic, comparable to the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square.

Dwight Ware

Right wicked fun.

Bob Harrison

Great movies, comfortable couches, great snacks, beer&wine in season... support Rob and this fabulous Gloucester venue

Fantastic little cinema with a very intimate/home feel with couches and comfy seats instead of theater seats. Highly recommend.

What if you could have a movie theater in your living room? That's what this is like! The place is furnished with couches, recliners etc. There always a fresh line-up of Indie movies not readily available in other theaters. But that's not to say they don't get major new releases. They do! The ticket price is super reasonable, the staff is great. Not many places like this left!

Love the comfy couches

Nick K

This is honestly my favorite movie theatre in the entire world. The medium-sized room stacked with super comfy couches is such a great alternative to modern megaplexes.

Erik Smith

You can catch great movies here in small groups with couches and eccentric apps. Small venue. Great experience.

Alex Holman

Great art house theater. Seating is in a range of comfy couches.

ROSIE HOWARTH

Wonderful show. Great staff

Maureen C

Great environment! Fun, unique experience

Thomas Lopez

Great use of space, very comfortable feel, sound quality was great, for a simple community experience. The total opposite of plastic seats and chemical popcorn, and there is no bad seat in the house.

Clifford King

Cozy atmosphere with top flight films. Wine and beer!

Steve Prowten

The Google blurb incorrectly states that it has a single screen. There are two screens. After some initial fussing with volume levels for movie previews we had a great experience!

Sharon Delaney

Cozy, comfy, courteous, cognitive and comprehensive of the complexities of the world in the choice of the movies shown. I was left with a very good experience. LOVED IT! Sharon Delaney of Beverly

Marty Langlois

Great move and wonderful staff. Unfortunately the elevator was out of order and my guest had to struggle up the stairs, but she made it. The ‘little’ room is just that. Twenty seats +- and small square room. The need to look up a bit to see the whole screen was not comfortable for my neck. I’ll make sure to see my next shows in the ‘BIG’ room.

Amber Risi

Friendly staff and awesome theaters that are well kept and clean.

Maria Schmidt

Visit this local gem ASAP! They have great cinema selections in a fun atmosphereand the owners are really sweet. They are even working on BYOB to keep the customers happy. There are too few places like this around. Support them by treating yourself to a night of cinema.

Jim Bridger

Fun theatre with comfy couches and decent screen. Unfortunately hard to see over other people since they're all on the same level, and there's a limited number of seats that are in the middle.

Kellie Sellers

Cool lil theater w/couches. Pricey at $12.50pp

Gildas Quinquis

Great funky spot, nice staff, good food, comfy couches

Lindsay Morsillo

A great indie movie theater! I've been a couple times with my mom who loooooves this spot--they have indie films, and often have events with a producer, actor, director, or someone speaking to the film you just watched. You basically sit in couches and chairs that have been donated, it's not stadium seating, it's on the second floor and is pretty small, but it's a cool, funky space. The snacks are normal-theater-prices, BUT they have local snacks and wine. They don't always run on time, but it's a wonderful gem of a movie theater on Cape Ann.
