What parents say
"Beautiful old St. Louis movie theatre. I saw Greta Gerwig's Little Women there when I was new to town, and then Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person there years later. Their popcorn is delicious, and if you, like me, don't deal with stairs well, there's a perfectly good restroom on the first floor."

"This was my first time visiting the Hi-Pointe, and I had a great time. Staff members at the concession stand were friendly, and the greeter was nice and informative. Overall the the theatre was larger than I expected. I did notice, noise from HVAC system during quiet moments of the film (well I'm assuming it was the HVAC system). But these sounds weren't harshly disruptive."
