TESTIMONIALS

If your tastes in film go beyond the Hollywood mainstream, I encourage you to check out Frida. We’re lucky to have this great organization in Orange County that supports independent cinema.

I recently rented the theatre for a six-day event and it was an incredible experience. The staff at the Frida is accommodating, helpful, and overall a pleasure to work with. The theatre has so much character and is such a gem! I would highly recommend the theatre for anything from just seeing a film to renting the space. I know I’ll be back here time and time again!

What a cool theater! This is a local Santa Ana gem that was just recently refurbished. They play great classic movies, and though we were here for an arts event, the historical charm just can be found the moment you step foot inside the lobby!

My new favorite theater! Such a friendly atmosphere and the staff is super friendly too. I’ve only been twice after discovering this gem about a week ago. I can’t wait to come back and view more movies here.

This is such an amazing theater filled with nothing but love! I’ve been coming to this place for years and what’s nice is that I know I’m supporting a non-profit theater. They’re always helping the community, supporting local small filmmakers, proving something beautiful and wholesome and just being so well put together.

Its hard to describe what they have captured here, the set up is very nice and a very classic feel. The staff are helpful and kind and the event we had at the theatre was really a lot of fun. I want to come back for “Rocky Horror” and the “Rudeboy OC” movie coming up soon. Thanks for keeping my childhood alive with this blast to the past!

I love the Frida, as an avid movie watcher, it’s great to have a place to go where many classic, cult and underrated films are shown. I had the pleasure of attending “The Decline of Western Civilization” screening with director Penelope Spheres doing a Q&A. Her films are so historically important and impacted me at a very young age. I am forever grateful for the experience, like nowhere else would this be possible. I think it’s truly amazing what the staff and everyone involved is doing for the … Read more

We are so lucky to have this gem in our town. Fantastic, diverse, interesting movies that you can’t see anywhere else. They are community focused, showing low cost kids movies on the weekend and free movies on the rooftop in the summer. The customer service is warm and welcoming. This is clearly a labor of love and we are all benefiting. Thank you for being you Frida Cinema!

I had a chance to visit the Frida Cinema last night for a screening of the original 1954 Godzilla and had such a great time! They had a very informative Q&A session afterwards with knowledgeable Ishiro Honda biographers.They also had the lobby set up with merchandise tables and a book signing. Well done Frida!! Have more events like these please.
