Glasgow Film Theatre Review

Lovely independent cinema in the heart of Glasgow, great during the Glasgow Film festival. Many of the chairs are sponsored which is nice.

Great place! Old school and new films. Cult classics and.....a bar with coffee, ice cream, prosecco! Perfect....

The new look GFT is lovely! Like an old style movie theatre!

Great for weird, arty films that I've no chance of seeing in Falkirk and with a glass of wine, too. Great day out!

Unique cinema experience in Glasgow great staff great interior yes!

The GFT offers a great cinematic experience , is well equipped with informative material about the screeneings and a very interesting bar to keep things well attuned. Ive been here for a couple of special independent film screenings as well as your regular blockbusters id say you font have to chose between either of them as you can do both in here. Price wise is quite fair and offers unemployment discounts which van be quite helpful and quite frankly is a most needed feature in all type of businesses.

Friendly staff, comfortable seats, but not much leg room. Good coffee too!

We saw Mother. Very strange film, but so glad to finally see something in The Glasgow Film Theatre. Tastefully refurbished.

Cinema 1 is bigger than cinema 2, but their seats are comfortable and they have nice selection of snacks in the bar

Love the classical feel of this cinema. Like going back in time.

An absolute institution in Glasgow, enjoy a film in the environment it should be seen in, how cinemas should be, five stars every day of the week

Took my Mum here to see "The Women". It is a beautiful cinema. The guy on the admissions desk was what we Glaswegians call "hawf baked". He showed no interest in being friendly and spoke far too quickly, verging on the dismissive. Paid More

Interestingly restored period building , designed by Mackintosh . Plethora of features in addition to small museum devoted to his and his contemporaries work .
Prices a little on the expensive side but one of those places in Glasgow you have to tick of your list .

Everybody of a like mind in the same place. Such fun

The best non-commercial cinema in Glasgow City so far. I is going under renewal works. The selection of movies is great. The only bad point is that the seats are not as comfortable as those of a commercial cinema.

Very comfortable cinema. With three screens good choice of films.

Great stylish cinema, nice bar and biodegradable cups.

Great to back at the GFT after a long absence, felt as if I had never been away a great cinematic experience from start to finish with friendly and helpful staff and can't wait toll we're back

Thought the film rather boring, also the cinema was cold, could do with turning the heating up

Authentic old cinema with ushers and usherettes, ice cream, coffees and great movies

A breath of fresh air from your usual cinema. The screens are surprisingly big and the seats super comfy, what more do you need?

Still one of my all-time favourite venues

I love the retro vibe of the cinema, and the endless circa of special screenings available; whether that's for old horror films, anime film festivals, or standard box office releases. There's something for everyone!

As well as being a great traditional film theatre, GFT offer's an extensive range of films that you don't get st mainstream cinemas. After a period of refurbishment GFT now offer's excellent wheelchair access to all areas. Personally, I'm a big fan of Cinema 3.

As usual very clean. Was in for a lecture in the upper cinema.

Good picture house needs more to eat though not enough options

Old school cinema with unusual listings. Seats aren't the most comfy for longer films though.

A pleasure to visit and watch your favourite films with a glass of wine

Brilliant indy film theatre with lovely deco architectural features.

A charming place. Nice selection of films and events.

Places like GFT add a bit of soul to a city - one can step out of the zeitgeist for a few hours and perhaps, if lucky, get a new perspective on the present and the past. Or simply have a good time watching rare movies.

I saw this place while visiting my daughter and loved it... looks vintage

First visit during a Glasgow stay, what a wee cinema gem! Beautifully renovated, lovely staff, great seating and bar was an unexpected treat.

There is a real quality feel about the place, its warm comfortable and the staff are knowledgable and friendly.

Friendly staff. Can bring on sweets without hassle. Adult and child free to their 1130 take 2 movie every Saturday using a young scot card too.

Was at access film club tonight was a great movie and it's great they do it monthly

Classy place, comfortable seats, and you can bring booze into the auditorium.

Love this cinema. Its a shame they did away with the cafe downstairs. The one upstairs doesnt have enough sests and becomes too crowded.

Possibly best cinema in Scotland, one of a dying breed. Independently owned, wonderful Deco building, it's still got a really 'old-timey' feel inside, but not dirty or musty. It shows a wide range of films, foreign language, art, etc. Ticket prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Beautiful old cinema very comfortable with a lovely cafe

Great cinema. great atmosphere. Staff wonderful. Best place for a movie

Awesome and charming place, really stands out from other movie theaters.

Great cinema for independent and art house films. Good cafe. The seats are a little cramped. Many areas refurbished as of November 2017. Helpful and friendly staff.

Really nice Glasgow independent cinema that shows a wide range of movies that aren't generally shown at the big chains.
It has a really nice foyer and a newly refurbished bar area which is quite small so it can get crowded on occasions. Ticket prices are reasonable and I'd recommend a visit if you live in Glasgow to support our local independent cinema.

Unfriendly staff.
Too preoccupied with talking to one another.

Places like this should be supported. An old fashioned cinema with up to date films. Plenty of room in the seats ( I'm 6ft tall and never felt uncomfortable )

Also there's no hot dog stall or popcorn machine so you can enjoy the film without having to endure

Very good .Getting tickets in advance can be quite slow as computerised ticketing system seems difficult for staff to navigate!!

Fantastic gem of a cinema in the heart of the city, the art deco exterior is complimented by the diversity of films on offer inside. A must for any movie goer visiting Glasgow.

Excellent cinema, nice to have a beer and the movie float like a butterfly was excellent

Saw Cinema Paradiso. Very covid safe - the cinema, not the film.

Great place for varies and alternative cinema. Gorgeous architecture.

Warm, friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and great films!

Provided with mandatory spoons for the viewing of 'the rooms' bad film but quality experience

You can get discounted films if you have a 15 to 25 card!

Super art-house cinema. Good selection of films. Well priced. Staff very friendly

The GFT has a good selection of films that you wouldn't find in your cineworld or odeon. It's nice to see foreign films or films that are different to blockbusters

Solid cinema, a bit hipstery but snacks are cheaper than cineworld

Coolest movie theatre in Scotland. Excellent staff, sensible prices, well appointed cinemas and a first rate selection of films old and new. Any visit is always such an immensely enjoyable experience.

Nicely decorated and small venue usually with a great selection of European films at affordable prices. Usually not packed in the daytime. A short walk from Cowcaddens subway station, and not too far from Glasgow Queen Street Station.

Cool movie theatre. Shows independent films and unique screenings.

Like a twin of Edinburgh's Filmhouse but with comfier seats. Has a bar but not much space to wait if it's busy, though that matters more during festival times. Nice staff too.

A great venue for watching your favourite movie, whilst sipping a nice wee malt...
