Music Box Theatre Reviews

A tribute to Adele, the venue was very enjoyable. I went on a Wednesday eve., sold out. My friends and I really enjoyed the evening. It was very relaxing, the audience were engaged and had a great time. Definently recommend it if your looking for something different.

The Music Box Theater is one of my favorite places in the city of Chicago. It is beautiful. The movies are excellent selections. It is a no fall way to have a lovely time. 💜

AMC be damned. Music Box is one of the best movie theaters in Chicago, and maybe even in the world. Truly a gem. If you consider yourself even a casual fan of cinema, you owe it to yourself to visit this theater at least once in your life. I‘m so glad institutions like this still exist.

This theater has really good programming and the organist before shows is cool and it's nice they've kept the old decor and not turned it into some modern monstrosity. But I really hesitate to go to screenings here because the audiences are so obnoxious. They laugh at EVERYTHING. Not just jokes, but basically anytime anything happens in a movie even if—sometimes especially if—it's sad or disturbing. I'm not sure why they do this but my guess is that it's self-conscious film nerds desperate to show the other self-conscious film nerds that they "get it". Any creative act on the part of the film, acts which usually work movie magic and immerse you the viewer in the soul of the movie, is scoffed at by the freaks in the audience to signal to others that they picked up on the magic, the end result being to pull non-freak viewers out of the immersive experience, while the freaks are left to play their little game of who-can-scoff-the-most. It seems like a lot of people go here not to watch movies, but to be watched appreciating a movie. And the way they signal to others they are appreciating the movie is by laughing at inappropriate moments. And when half the audience is doing this, a sickening chorus of forced, joyless laughter emerges and any chance you have of engaging with a film on its own terms disappears. Just imagine watching a Lynch movie and anytime something odd happens, instead of letting it wash over them, the people next to you cackle. I can't imagine a worse punishment.

Listening to Studio Ghibli’s soundtrack with a soothing and atmospheric ambiance is just magical! 🥺💗 I am overjoyed to experience such a wonderful performance.
