I have no problem with the theater itself. This was my first time being at this theater, and while its nice to see a movie theater like this, and I would like to come again under better circumstances, I had a HUGE problem with other people during my Knight of Cups 7:00 p.m. showing that I feel could and should have been handled better by the staff. There were not just a couple people talking, but several groups talking, and I even heard a conversation that sounded like they were talking normally instead of just in a hushed tone. It absolutely took me out of the movie, and I expect more from people who go to a theater known for showing independent and foreign films. They even kept talking after being hushed sharply. I know there are commercials before the movie that tell you not to talk, but it would help perhaps if the employees reiterated this point before the movie starts, and it would also help if the employees came in every so often just to make sure no one is talking. This is one of the worst theater experiences Ive personally had, and I was taken completely out of the movie way too many times because of these people and how this situation was handled. I hope this is handled better in the future.

old seats and old people that will not shut up. the theatre is quite run down at this point. rips in the screens, dingy gross carpet, the concession stand looks like it hasnt had a proper cleaning since the 90s. its a shame theyve let one of the only indie movie-houses in town go to pot like this. the popcorn is good, but again the concession stand looks disgusting. also one thing that happens 3 out of 5 times I see a movie here is there are many people in the audience who chatter throughout the film. Its really uncanny how often this happens. More often then not its a group of people in their late 50s to 60s and older. I dont even understand why most of them are seeing these weird indie pictures. Seriously most of them gasp in horror at whatever Todd Solondz or Michael Haneke film is screening. Is it just the neighborhood theatre for them? I really dont know, but it would make sense that the retirees of Edina would feel that much entitlement they could just babble as if they were in their own living rooms.

I have loved this theatre, and its immediate surrounding area (restaurants and establishments), far before moving nearby. The theatre supports (and almost entirely shows) independent film, which really adds to the exceptional buzz of arts, culture, and community in the area (film you cant see anywhere else). The historic facility inside and out could use some updates, but if you are looking for an independent film theatre and/or romantic date, those things are not that important to the overall experience. Bravo Edina!

Recently saw a film in the Edina cinema in theater #3 and the projector was terrible. Thousands of red pixels against white images and there were two dead green pixels against dark images. It was a big distraction for what was a beautiful foreign film. When I pay top dollar for a current film I expect the projection to be of high quality. It wasnt.

This movie theater has a delightful mix of mainstream and offbeat offerings. Conveniently located near 50th and France, there is ample parking and the area has a wide variety of eating establishments to complete the quintessential "dinner and a movie."

Everything about this place is old and awesome!! Older customer base, older building, traditional seating (dont expect any leather recliners). Plus, there are movies here you will not find everywhere else. A charming experience not to be missed.

Good to great films, mostly indie and foreign. Popcorn has very little salt, perfect. Seats are pretty good but could be upgraded. Good sized theaters and screens. Sound is good, not great. Great staff, great atmosphere.

Edina cinema usually has very interesting movies from indies and a lot of foreign films. The 4 star is because the seats are not very comfortable.

Edina Cinemas esthetic is terribly outdated and not in a charming nostalgic way. For me it wasnt an enjoyable experience.

Little multiplex (6? screens) with old, small seats. This place really needs updating. But it shows small indie movies .

Nice movie theater with more unusual movie fare than the chain theaters. Drove 18+ miles to get here, worth the drive
