Facets is a unique space for those who love cinema- if you are someone who loves truly cutting-edge, often foreign, films youll love Facets.

This humble film non-profit boasts a cinema, video rental store, and distribution label. Not to mention they run one of the largest international childrens film festivals in the country. A haven for film lovers of all kinds I cant recommend Facets enough!

Incredible selection of foreign and art-house films, maybe the best in the country.

The best selection of super indie films in the city. Go there for the really obscure-and great foreign film selections. Love the French films, personally. Also super friendly staff to help you with movie rentals and have some awesome advice. Definitely worth a membership to enjoy the rentals and showings.

Unique, quirky venue for films unavailable elsewhere in the area. A cultural treasure 40 years young and going strong. Highly recommended for the cinema lover.

I grew up going to this place and it enriched my life greatly. Thank you Facets. Great movies you cant see elsewhere and an amazing collection of foreign dvds. A nice, comfortable place with a wonderful staff. A Chicago landmark!

I like Facets, a great selection of of rare and OOP films. You can rent VHS and PAL even. I liked it enough that when I moved from Chicago I kept my membership so I can have films shipped to me downstate. Customer service leaves something to be desired, though. If I call up with questions or to check for a film I always get the feeling that the staff would rather not be dealing with me.

Facets! No place like it. I have seen films there to which I could not have had access anywhere else! If you are not afraid of subtitles, have curiosity about foreign and independent films, want no elevator music leading up to the feature (much less, car commercials!), Facets is incredible! Come and see for yourself.

This is a very low key, Indie film spot. I went to see Newlyweeds per the recommendation of a friend and enjoyed myself. The cashier is also the food vendor and reel operator; thats how small of a location it is. Though, great spot to bring a group of friends and have an intimate night at the show.

Great selection of movies. From silent to foreign, documentary to comedy, they have it all. Expand your cinematic horizons. Rv

Went here with my sons field trip and was blown away. Very engaging to the kids with relevant, age-appropriate questions asked. The kids were super-enthusiastic and the set of short films we watched were great. Thansk.

Facets is my favorite arts organization in Chicago. Use this valuable resource to enrich your life

Its a cinemathèque. Such a sublime concept. I live in a city of 200,000 people and yet we have no commercial movie theater, much less an arthouse. I subscribe to Facets DVD service as much to underwrite Milos Stehliks vision as to enjoy great movies. Its like having access to a friends brilliant film collection.Not every city is fortunate enough to have a cinemathèque.

Its okaii an but the decor is nice .seems like a nice place too be

They have things here that you literally cannot find on the internet.

I enjoyed myself!

I agree with these other reviews of this place.

More relaxed
