    DO NOT come to this movie theater! On Monday evening, we were sexually harassed by two white guys in this movie theater, one of them deliberately changed their seat to sit next to us, one of them tried to ask about our personal information, we ignored him, he didn’t take that as a sign of rejection and proceeded to make racially motivated sexual jokes repeatedly towards us at a loud volume to make sure we can hear him. They were ruining the movie for everyone else, these white guys kept talking amongst themselves across rolls, joking singing along and laughing throughout the entire movie even after being told to be quiet. We were angry and scared and made the report to the theater right after the movie ends. However no one in the theater was trying to do the minimal job they were supposed to, from the security, and manager Adrian, they did nothing but fed us bureaucracy bs ; even better his supervisor did not bother to see us or to talk to us and was conveniently home after hearing this matter from his subordinates. We were given his number but was told NOT to call since Adrian was scared to lose his job. The cops were no help either ofc. This goes to show how little this theater cared about their customers. Poorly-ran security system enabled this behavior since I’m not sure if the people harassed us bought the tix. There were little to no support for us afterwards, no type of compensation was offered. No effort/solution was made, these people got away with what they did and will probably continue to do so since the theatre’s non-doing allowed it. Putting all women in risky environment when they could’ve just relaxed and enjoyed the movie. DO NOT come here.

    The venue is absolutely beautiful, but man, the projection is embarrassing. I came here for a 70 mm screening of One Battle After Another and the projector was out of focus the entire time, the image a blurry, flickering mess.
