Reviews
When the weather is bad but I feel like venturing further afield for a wet weather activity than my usual stomping grounds, the Roxy is a good choice. Its glamorous decor makes it feel a cut above your common or garden trip to the cinema, and the excellent in-house Coco restaurant/cafe/bar means you can hunker down, away from the elements, in the one venue.
With not owning a car a badge of honour many Wellingtonians pride themselves on wearing, it can sometimes be a bit of a hassle to get to the Roxy Cinema, all the way out in Miramar – but it’s well worth the trip for a bit of an old-school glamour, complete with heavy red curtains and Weta Workshop oddities. The in-house bar/cafe/restaurant Coco is and the excellent La Boca Loca Mexican restaurant a couple of doors down are the perfect choices for a pre-movie meal, too.
The Rozy is the apex of Wellington’s embracing of the high art-low art dichotomy, a high art venue for the lower art entries into the cinematic canon. While far from schlocky, there is something delightful and confusing about the sound of explosions and gunline and pithy oneliners ringing the beautifully restored deco halls.
