Chauvel Cinema

Shame on you Palace Cinema ! Cancel culture for such a seemingly progressive cinema ? Canceling a law abiding minority show on supposed security concerns and submit to a violent and threatening group , empowering them ? That's racism for sure. So Unaustralian - but apparently not so much these days. All
Minority groups beware

I like this place, always a good excuse to go to Paddington and see a flick. It's part of the Palace chain and that means you get a cool crowd, as the movies are cool with no screaming kids! Coffee is good and they have discounts on a Monday, so that's your bargain day taken care of and then the following day, you just have to find a cinema that does Cheap Tuesday deals. Good place.

pokey and claustrophobic very uncomfortable chairs, dirty. the speakers don't work properly, muffled and distorted. just because it shows art movies and foreign movies doesn't excuse shoddy standards. would never come back.

I probably wouldn't ever come back here willingly to watch a movie. I visited this cinema to watch an alien documentary, the cinema is quite old, bus some people might like to call it 'vintage' but each to their own. The popcorn wasn't very good, it was cold and it was probably sitting there all day. I found a hair curled up in one of the popcorns which then really turned me right off everything about the cinema. The seats are smelly and old, once the movie started playing the audio was ridiculously loud! I assume it was hurting everyones ears because then after about 10 minutes someone had turned it down. Overall I watched the documentary with no fuss, my experience wasn't terrible but as I said, I probably wouldn't come back again to watch a blockbuster.

This a a wonderful old cinema. It is conveniently loacted in Paddington, easy to get to, just off Oxford St. I always keep my eye out for great arthouse movies that are being played here.
