Glasgow Film Theatre Review

This is a great wee cinema. Always has a diverse programme. Comfortable seating. Friendly staff and reasonably priced tickets.

Great cinema. Classy, comfortable surroundings, decent visuals and a rare appreciation that the sound needn't be so loud as to make your eyes vibrate. A rare privilege to be allowed to take drinks from the bar into the screen, too.

I fantastic theatre showing a wide variety of genres of films from the past and present.

A great cinema with a fantastic range of films. Best place to catch films with a limited release. Friendly staff and a decent bar is located within the venue for a pre or post-film chat. It's always a pleasant trip when we go here.

Lovely cinema, Art Deco frontage, great choice of new and old art house films from around the world plus Take Two film screenings for kids at the weekend, and special screenings and events. Staff are friendly and helpful. too. Long live the GFT!

A classic theatre experience, very enjoyable, not much leg room, or seat space, but it's not supposed to be.... Is it.!! Loved the old old days experience again.. I will be back..

Worst customer service from someone called Caroline. Too interested talking to her colleague about her make up than helping my disabled mother

Cosy little independent cinema with a great selection of indie films and showings of old classics, with lots of film events throughout the year. And a bar!

Lovely cinema, recently renovated and sympathetically altered to accommodate 3 screens which show a wide range of films

Love this place, I just wished I lived a bit closer

Fab place to go just like the cinemas of my tounger years. Staff very pleasant

If they get their sound sorted it s the best in town.

Independent film theatre - shows a wide variety of films - popular as well as art offerings

Nowhere better for a night out at the pictures, manages to retain the romance of the cinema-going experience in the age of the multiplex.

Lovely place, kind staff good day out for all ages. Small conema.

Very intimate cinema, in the heart of Glasgow. A good selection of independent movies and older movies. There is a bar and you can bring a wine/beer (plastic cup) in the cinema room with you.

Fantastic place for movie lovers and casual movie goers. Love the old fashioned style and appearance. Only suggestion would be better sound/volume control. Maybe it's movie-dependent but it was a little too loud once or twice. Otherwise, it's definitely recommended

At half the price any other cinema is charging for admission, my expectations of this place weren't particularly high. But I was so wrong! The space was good, comfortable chairs, a well stocked bar and brilliant quality.

I have only gone there once and I can say I will repeat it. The selection of movies is absolutely great and you have guaranteed that you will see a good movie, not just a blockbuster movie.
Food-wise is not good - I recommend bringing everything from home, including water.

Charming pseudo hip little cinema which likes to kind of force feed its alt dogma a bit, but it's beautifully run and cared for and the staff are super delightful. So...I like it!

This is a fantastic theatre! The chairs are very comfortable leather with drinks holders to the side. The screens, although quite small, are high quality and the sound is superb. The toilet facilities are also well maintained.

This cinema isn't one that draws in the blockbuster crowd, it's aimed more at specialist cinema and thankfully because of that the audience is much more well behaved, no mobile phones going off, people talking or loud popcorn eaters!

If you want a quality cinema experience, free from the screaming mobile phone kids I'd definitely recommend this venue.

This is my favourite cinema and mainly shows independent films. It has three screens & a cafe/bar and has-been around for 80 years.
If late Feb it has a Film Festival showcasing the best new films, even world premieres, and throughout the year it has mini festival strands like Italian novices.
They run two schemes one is a loyalty point system and the other a Cinecard which gives you money off films, points, priority booking for the Film Festival and 4 free films (the cost of the card) per year.
It is fully accessible. Oh and there's never the smell of stale popcorn or hot dogs to spoil the experience.

An excellent mix of niche art house and classic mainstream films. I love it here.

The GFT is a fantastic Cinema steeped in history with a good atmosphere

The staff are very professional and so attentive thank you for your kindness and your support Charles and Phyllis Spiers

Fantastic night at visible cinema really great experience had a great laugh 2 brilliant short movies ! highly recommended for deaf and hearing alike !! Cheers

It's a grand old cinema, I have enjoyed many trips here watching a Brazilian vampire animation and Lawrence of Arabia in its original format and Hedy Lamar's biography, it's is a vibrant and interesting venue.

Its good but i was expecting some independent cinema

Excellent movie venue showing wide variety of movies.

I love the GFT! Every time I come it feels spezial. Thank you x

Glorious building with dedicated (if not devoted) staff.

Great Independent Cinema with Fantastic Staff. A Treasure

Great cinema for kicking back and seeing some independent films.

Cozy traditional cinema. Lots of different and independent films on show as well as the mainstream ones.. bring purchased wine from the bar into the cinema too :)

Excellent small cinema venue. Picture and sound good but too hot. 3 screens. Seats comfortable.

Great cinema, so glad this still exists and in such a central location.

Great place, Compfy seats and ecceltic films! With Q and As with directors and stars! Keep coming here again and again!

Really nice venue but the seats are a bit cramped so if you like legroom get there 15-20 mins early to grab one of the few seats with a good amount of legroom.

Good selection of indie and foreign films. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Seats are comfortable and audio is good. Perfect viewing experience.

Cult, classic, and curious films, shown in an art deco-style movie theatre.

It doesn't properly feel like Christmas until you've watched It's A Wonderful Life in the GFT - a tradition for many Glaswegians.

Quality films outside of the mainstream. Volume doesn't deafen you. Independent cinema. A wonderful piece of Glasgow's history and culture.

Fantastic place, great that independent cinema survives

Best place to watch movies in Glasgow although they need to get a proper bar again

Glasgows finest for cult cinema. The building and decor takes you back in time to an amazing art defo era.

Love it, super nice, friendly staff, great selection of independent and mainstream films

Lovely cinema but cold. Enjoyed the film.
Next time I will bring a blanket.

Great cinema (but) we had an icy blast for two hours called Air conditioning in theatre 1B brrrrrr

Excellent first time there to see Wonderful life great movie .

Beautiful Cinema space with a nostalgic atmosphere and awesome staff!!

Always love this place, a really beauiful building which has been maintained beautifully, lovely place to see a film!

It is the best cinema in Glasgow and remains my top memory of the city

Glasgow institution... Quickly, great choice of indie movies, one of my favourite venues in Glasgow

The only negative here is that there isn't much legroom between seats here. Otherwise a great place!
