Paradiso - Cinemas & Movies

I tried out this app after seeing the creator’s post in some cinephile subreddits. I am a fan! The interface is simple and easy to navigate. I love that my local indie and art house theaters’ showings are here, such as the Pacific Film Archive/BAMPFA which I couldn’t otherwise find on Fandango (which I have since deleted since they jack up ticket prices and have annoying ads). The Letterboxd integration is fantastic. I have a lot of Cannes releases on my list and I love that I get notified when those are playing near me (especially since I don’t use traditional social media). Thank you for this gift to the cinephile community!

If you are looking for all the films released in your city, borough or in your vicinity then this is a great application to get. You can directly look at movies or see what each cinema is screening. And almost everything can be done in the app itself. It doesn’t stutters, takes too much space and is easy to use. Highly recommended for those who want to see all the releases in one place without having to switch between multiple different platforms.

I was literally telling my partner that I wish someone would volunteer to make the American Cinematheque an app to help organize tickets/events since it can be hard to keep track of. While my tickets aren’t linked to this app the ability to have all the films in the area layed out and bookmark screenings and add them to my calendar has been a game changer.
