5 Stars! “spectacular…The film is a love letter to collaboration, to passion, and to the power of music: this is Prince’s legacy, brought to life nowhere more memorably than in Purple Rain.” (SBS World News)

5 Stars! “A classic ’80s rock movie, whose soundtrack was perhaps the best album of the decade.” (New Times)

“an object lesson in how powerful Prince’s charisma and appeal was.” (Box Office Prophets)

“Purple Rain is not a living room kind of movie. It demands to be experienced in all its awesomely ridiculous glory on the biggest screen, with the biggest speakers and the biggest crowd…As a musical time capsule, it’s practically priceless.” (RogerEbert.com)

*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!
