PARKING: Parked at a small lot and walked five minutes over. There is street parking but I get too nervous. SEATING: The seating is very funny. It's like a recliner but not fully. You have to keep the weight on it or it'll snap back into the original position but I didn't mind it. I just got scared everytime I leaned back and the seat leaned with me. Very comfy regardless though! SERVICE: There was only one employee and he was very nice! Quick and prompt and helped with all my questions. FOOD/SCREEN: Single screen theater and it's pretty cozy! Lots of seating! The popcorn was standard but popcorn always is amazing during a movie!! Had a small drink and it was from one of those free style machines. OVERALL: Cute theater and I can't wait to go back to watch other movies here!

Went to the Nuart theater in west LA with my girlfriend and 3 other people from her meetup group to see the rocky horror picture show. Although I have seen it in theaters before this was my first experience with a shadow cast. The Nuart is a fairly small theater, right on Santa Monica Blvd and just a few hundred feet off the 405 freeway. Parking can be challenging, there is some street parking as well as a few pay lots in the area. The the seats manually recline if you slide the seat cushion forward while pressing back on the backrest. The snack bar serves beer and wine along with traditional movie snacks. Which is nice if you want an adult beverage to enjoy while you're watching the movie. The rocky horror cult classic is a must experience in a theater show.

Went last night to see a late night showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show with a shadow cast. While I enjoy the movie (I have it on DVD) this is my first time seeing it in a theater along with a shadow cast. It's something to be desired TBH. The theater itself was on a smaller scale than I'm used to and the seats had good cushioning but would rock as opposed to recline without intention. We didn't purchase any concessions but they did have some alcohol available for those who want it. The rest of my group found the event interesting Would we be back? Probably not. Maybe on a special occasion or event tho. Who knows?

This is the 3rd time i am reaching out to you to try and resolve an issue. I am a long-time Landmark patron. I purchased 4 tickets total for the movie, The Teacher in Los Angeles for the Nuart . I bought 2 tickets for the April 18, 7:00 PM show and 2 for the April 19, 7:00 PM show. I tried returning the two tickets for the April 19 show, but the website gave me an error message, and the return never went through. Nor did I get a refund, so I gave my tickets to my friend, but your usher told her that the tickets have been refunded. Which is not accurate, as I have not received a refund. I have screenshots to provide to you to prove my case. Please issue a refund ASAP.

I had passed Nuart Theatre a few times without realizing it existed until I went there for a limited-viewing documentary. It's a small, single-screen theater that's clean and well-maintained. The seats were standard but comfortable, clean, and had a nice recline. Overall, I had a great experience!

We love love the Nuart Theater. It is now owned by Landmark. The entire movie house has been remolded, but keeping the great neon on the outside. It is a one screen theater, thank goodness and it is so comfortable. They show art films, Indie films, older films and they are famous for their 11:00 pm showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show which is the most fun you will ever have at a theater. The audience dances and sings the songs, people dress up as their favorite character and they have a cast of actors who are on the aisles and the stage acting out the parts and just saying the most funny things. Some people go there a lot. This was our first time and we had so much fun. Do not take children unless you don't mind dirty language and sexual jokes. I took my grandson and he loved it. He is old enough to know what he is not allowed to repeat and he was welcomed by everyone. The people that go are super nice. The theater itself has a lovely lobby, great snacks and really nice staff. The place is very clean and as I said remolded. The seats are so comfortable. All new and there is a nice rise between rows so you can see. They have a great choice of movies so go there and have fun. Parking is on the street or there is a lot near by. I got there early enough to just grab a free street spot--mind the signs.

4+ and old school movie theater that usually plays art house films that you typically can't see at a lot of other places, which is really great. I lived in the area for so long and I can't believe this was my first time ever coming to this theater. The folks here are super friendly and organized. I think there's only one theater in this entire building, but they do choose some really interesting films. I came here to watch "Farewell My Concubine". The seats in the theater are a little uncomfortable. They slide and recline when you don't want them to slide a little bit. It's not a huge big deal though. Oh, and I'm not sure if I was hungry that day or what, but I really loved the popcorn here. It tasted really delicious that day. Really fresh and the salty buttery flavors came through. Definitely a fun place to watch films and a great neighborhood to grab food before or after. I would recommend, especially if they were screening a film that you were interested, which I would assume wouldn't be playing at a lot of other places.

Really wanted to see Problemista, but it was a very limited release and had come out a while ago. However, Nuart was still playing it so I grabbed tickets (~$16 bought in-person). The theater is so cute from the outside and just as cute on the inside! Definitely a great theater for cinephiles as all the movies that were advertised to be showing soon at the theater are i die flicks. The movie attendant who helped us buy tickets and was also doing concessions was very nice. Theater itself was big and spacious and very clean, and the chairs are comfy! Not a modern reclining chair, but still reclines (when you lay back instead of when you push a button). I had a great experience and will come again! note: we parked across the street where it was free because it was Sunday - as far as I know, there's no parking lot specifically for the theater.

Nuart is a clean and modern single-screen theater. Street parking only. Great selection of concessions. They also offer wine, beer, and seltzers. The staff was friendly and helpful. Excited to come back! Tip: make sure to follow them on IG for updates on upcoming movies and special events.

It's been a long time since I've been to the movies, especially a place like this. I've been to…read morethis type of luxury theatre many years ago and it's definitely a good way to treat yourself. My son has been wanting to see Devil Wears Prada 2 and the first one is one of his favorite movies of all time. Personally, I don't like that movie but I went along with him. Tickets are $25 each and they have a $4 parking garage, but we were lucky enough to get a free after-hour meter on the street. It's a nice place and it seems like comfort is their top priority. The recliner chairs are extremely comfy and come with a blanket in case you get cold. You know how movie theaters are always chilly. Once you get settled, you can press a button that sends an employee over to take your order. It's completely optional. We got one small popcorn (light butter, $6) which was big enough for both of us. I like this idea of having the option of ordering and dining at your seat while watching a movie, but the reality is a bit different. It's kind of annoying to see the employees coming and going when someone needs a refill or places a new order during the movie. You can hear them talking and they can even block your view. It's frustrating when you are trying to focus. With that being said, I think it has more pros than cons. There are bars and bathrooms located across the several floors and the one we went to was exceptionally clean. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this theatre. I prefer something more standard like AMC or Pacific Theatres (RIP!)...

I was very disappointed by my recent experience at IPIC Westwood. After the movie, I briefly needed…read moresomewhere to sit while waiting for my family due to mobility limitations related to Multiple Sclerosis. The first-floor lobby had no seating at all, despite the theater branding itself as a luxury, comfort-focused experience. I politely asked if I could sit for a few minutes in the empty restaurant seating area, which was completely unused at the time, and was repeatedly told no due to "policy." While I understand policies exist, I was surprised that no reasonable accommodation or alternative seating was offered for a disabled patron who was simply waiting for family. What upset me most was not just the lack of accessibility-minded accommodations, but the dismissive attitude I encountered from several employees and the difficulty I had even obtaining the manager's name. For a theater that emphasizes comfort and premium service, I expected far more compassion, professionalism, and awareness regarding accessibility needs.

The kind of popcorn that reminds you why people still show up early to movies. The theater layout is different and it works. Not the usual stadium scramble. Sightlines feel intentional. You're not fighting heads or craning your neck. Seats are comfortable without feeling like you're sinking into furniture you'll never escape. It feels thought-through instead of retrofitted. Staff energy carries the whole experience. Friendly from the door. Easy smiles. Quick jokes. They move with confidence and actually seem happy to be there. Questions answered without attitude. Help offered before you have to ask. You don't feel processed. You feel welcomed. Everything flows smoothly. Entry is painless. Lines move. No confusion. No tension. The whole experience feels calm instead of chaotic, which is rare for a movie theater these days. Parking is the only real hurdle here. Confusing lanes. Not enough signs. That moment where everyone in the car goes quiet and pretends they know where they're going. A couple wrong turns. Mild irritation. You question your plans for the night. But once you figure it out and the car is settled, everything shifts. Stress drops off fast. Walk in breathing easier. The annoyance evaporates. It feels distant almost immediately, like it never mattered. From there the night smooths out. Popcorn hits. Staff energy lands. Seats feel better. You're locked in. Parking becomes a footnote instead of the story. It's giving... temporary chaos before the vibe locks.

The staff members were fine, but certainly not the friendliest I've experienced. I must also comment that the service issues in the theater were less than ideal, so some sort of signage or easy wifi hookup would have been great (or at least friendlier stall to point this out and provide more patience while pulling up tickets...).

Surprised to discover such comfortable seats in a perfectly sized theater for about 50 people. It was like watching a film in my living room. Every place was roomy and had a great view! Despite the request not to text or use your cell during the screening, someone couldn't set theirs aside for a little over two hours, and the bright white light that emanated from it was distracting. People, please, have some respect and leave the room if you can't resist reading some inane text. Sound was on point. Devouring the windy and wet "Wuthering Heights," however, it felt a tad drafty, so dress warmly. The restroom was clean but outdated. Park in the public lot across the street for $5. Good to know there are still places to see independent films, though this movie wasn't really one of them.
