The venue is as good as the movie you see...but that set aside this cinema is unique, very vintage and it brings you to a different era! I'd recommend trying it at least once Parking is a bit of a problem, you need to pay for it, this is Detroit! A water fountain available if you get thirsty and comfortable seats is what you can expect.

We had a great time seeing all the Oscar nominated shorts here. It was our first visit to the theater at the DIA and it was beautiful! The community is clearly strong, the theater is very nice and we look forward to coming back.

Boisseau! Fabulous, incredible and serene. Wow. An absolutely great and architecturally impressive theater in the DIA that shows some of the most interesting films you can see. Meticulously curated selection of artsy and thoughtful cinematic delights. They also have some nice pre-event space with refreshments and impressive interior decor details. I think my favorite thing was feeling like I was transported to the 1930s and was meeting my date at the cinema.

I really love this theatre. The people are friendly, it's clean, and there are no bad seats. The seats are comfortable. Tickets are reasonable and they show a lot of unique films / events.

How are y'all getting away with showing movies with that huge run right down the middle of the screen??? And other huge runs off to its left. Horrid.
