5 Stars! “I think it simply looks superb…an unmissable response to an unending emergency.” (The Guardian)

5 Stars! “One of the most striking and powerful films in cinema history…its relevance is sobering…La Haine is a film that everybody needs to see, at least once.” (Common Sense Media)

5 Stars! “as ferocious a punch in the stomach as it was twenty-five years ago, and retains every spark of an explosive deconstruction of France’s treatment of minorities and widening social inequality.” (Cinevue)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
