Glasgow Film Theatre Review

great place! good films on and chilled and friendly staff. a definitely must do if you are in Glasgow!!

A classic deco style cinema experience with a fantastic lineup of films from across the globe

Lovely cinema & without the huge crowds. You should visit.

Lovely venue showing some otherwise hard to see films as they were originally intended. Staff are always fab too?

Fantastic seats, staff helpful as I could not manage stairs so was shown and escorted to lift by staff member thank you

Wonderful cinema, really the best place to see something different

Is there anything better in Glasgow? No. There simply is not.

Lovely Art Deco Cinema playing classics and a whole range of movies. Strongly recommend.

Wonderful time seeing It's a wonderful life. Great atmosphere you have see this classic movie in this style of cinema with it's stylish surroundings. Thank you GFT

My favourite cinema in Glasgow. Looking forward to the 2017 Glasgow Film Festival.

Always brilliant. Lovely independent cinema in the centre of Glasgow. Great selection of movies.

A recent renovation programme has spoilled this venue a little, but it nevertheless retains many of its most interesting art deco features. Admittedly some have been submerged below an Ikea-esk veneer, but it is still a charming cinema theatre for all that.

Favourite place in Glasgow. Fantastic Cinema showing all kinds of film. Staff are approachable and know what they're talking about. Shows anything from the latest Disney film(as part of kids club) to a fairly random Icelandic film about a family torn apart by sheep. Also the home of Glasgow Film Festival.

Really quaint cinema in the town centre. Large comfortable seats and the sound isn't quite as deafening as cineworld down the road. Prices are very fair and staff are always helpful. Regularly attend this cinema and I've had no faults yet.

Always excellent presentation in auditoria of character and comfort. Good choice of foreign language and art house movies.

High Life and Vox Lux were both great viewing experiences as the seats were comfortable, the sound system was clear and the picture quality was crisp

Lovely art deco film house with a great program of films

Beautiful old art Deco cinema. Small choice. Downtown location. Very civilised

The institution that is 'what a wonderful life screening on the run up to Christmas. There is nothing better to get that festive mood started!

A cinema venue close to Sauchiehall Street for watching non-mainstream art films and documentaries. A good selection of films shown in a moderately sized, cosy cinema.

This is the best cinema in Glasgow. An institution. Good mix of cult/indie cinema and blockbusters. Lovely decor.

Make sure you go to cinema one, as a proper cinema. Recently refurbished with disabled access, and part of the Glasgow cinema experience.

Fantastic place to watch a movie. Beautiful theatre 5 stars

Shows good art & indie films,is becoming q expensive tho.

Good screens with a great selection of indie and classic cinema on offer.

Very nice cinema that shows films which larger chains might not make room for. The staff are all very helpful and friendly too!

Love this cinema. The cinema is small and intimate. Shows some very good films that you won't see in the mainstream cinemas.

A beautiful venue, with very nice and helpful staff.

This is one of the best small independent cinemas in Glasgow. If your looking for something different I definitely recommend going. There's a bar if you fancy a drink and the staff are very friendly.

Best cinema in Glasgow, in my humble experience. Latest refurbishment is also a big improvement. Always good selection of interesting movies + the cafe is good too.

Shows a wide selection of foreign films, classics, documentaries etc that you don't really get in a chain movie theatre.

It's a cosier way to go see a movie, and it just a bit more special than the standard cinema experience these days.

Cinema 3 is excellent for small art house films. Very, and I mean very comfortable seating. Book.online to save time at door and not be disappointed if full.

What a shame they took the little bar and reaturant away

This place has died a death since they closed cafe cosmo

Wonderful film theater, seriously come to this place and support the alternative film world! For all mainstream gobshite there is Netflix for quality film we have the Glasgow Film Theatre. Keep up the good work! The most cinematic work that ever has been created in the history of films was shown here in 2017, for those interested it was called "Mercy's Folly" and it caused such reverberations across the entire film industry that this was its only showing!

Great cinema showing mainstream as well as smaller releases and international titles, some live shows over satellite including overseas concerts and ballet and dance shows, small bar with snacks available, has good seating and a few steps away from Sauchiehall Street

Independent film cinema in restored Art Deco picture house. Contemporary and attractive bar area. A "must visit" for catching the non blockbusters.

Good to see the old place busy. Very comfortable seating and good movie

Always an enjoyable way to spend a rainy afternoon. We were there to see Psycho and it did not disappoint.
No popcorn munching and sensible ticket pricing, along with a varied and eclectic programme make GFT one of Glasgow's top attractions for film buffs.
It's also decorated as a cinema should be.

Outlaw King film viewing with Q&A's with film producer and director.

This is my favourite cinema in Glasgow! The seats are comfy, there are a couple of bars and you can even take your drink in to the cinema, plus the toilets are always clean! I love it, highly recommend.

The sound system is a bit grating after a full feature

A cinema with a very cozy room, in a very elegant building. You can watch classic and cult movies. Highly recommended

One of Glasgow's best and most specialised film theatres that specialises in showing films from around the world...!!

A lovely art-house theater, showing interesting and original films.

Location, building & staff are qreat - no qualms there, but film presentation can be inconsistent :
Last night saw concert movie 'Stop Making Sense' with a reduced volume soundtrack?
Also if it says 35 mm on the programme notes, beware - it could be the mankiest film print imaginable, as witnessed by watching an unintentionally sepia version of 'Apocalypse Now'.
For the leading independent cinema in Glasgow, it should do better.

Great place to see classic films. Good atmosphere. Can get too warm though especially during the summer

Has a wide range of small independent, art-house and foreign language films. Very comfortable seats and a commitment to the cinematic arts. Indispensable.

Stunning cinema that has kept its art deco styling intact. The place to go for films off the beaten track

Cinema as it should be for a film buff. A Glasgow institution in the best sense and a wonderful cinematic experience. You must go during the Glasgow Film Festival every February and keep an eye out for regular classics and new cinema

Nice independent cinema. Tickets are expensive though at 10.50 for Glasgow. If they make it 8 pounds it is better

Excellent venue to watch films. Quiet audiences and doesn't stink of popcorn.

Beautiful space with wonderful staff and excellent community focus.

We went to see a watersport festival, and though it will be run with a bit kore fun ... and that it will be run by somebdoy whos intrested in this as well. The lady who was runningt that night was super boring and official , it didnt build any atmosphere.was quite disappointed with the vibe.
There is not much space for legs

I've visited this wonderful cinema for many years. But following refurbishments over the past few years, I now get to access all spaces as the venue has become fully wheelchair accessible.

What can I say, such a beautiful building, wonderfully restored in keeping with the age of the building. Always worth a visit especially at Christmas when they show It's a Wonderful Life.

Great place for film buffs, many films which don't hit the bigger cinemas and much nicer than a multiplex

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended... Perfect cinema experience

Really good value and classy place. My favourite cinema

A gem of a venue. It's great to see this in the heart of Glasgow.

What an amazing line up today at the 8th edition of #Blueprints Supporting Scottish film making!

Even though GFT could be considered rough around the edges, it s the finest cinema Glasgow has to offer- both from a film selection side and customer service side. The whole cinema has a human feel- film projection is done by talented projectionists, ushering and bar staff are friendly and welcoming and programme is curated for its audiences. GFT is an independently run cinema, which supports not only a rarely seen films, analogue film projection and world cinema, but also offers in its programme films that otherwise might not get cinema exhibition (like programmes of short films and experimental film). I would highly recommend visiting this lovely cinema to support its activity and to see a great selection of films.

Lovely intimate film theatre similar to Cornerhouse Manchester art house films but we saw Widows!

Went to see The Imitation Game here and it was how I imagine cinemas were in my parents time - very theatre-like feel. Seats were comfortable, but not a huge amount of legroom. It made going to see a film on a short trip to the city that bit different from the usual.
