    Only streaming channel I joyfully renew each year. It’s all here. Old favorites, new discoveries, a few duds, head scratchers, mind benders, and hidden gems. Love it!
  • Great service, app needs improving

    By I dont know. Whatever
    The Criterion Channel is one of the best streaming services you can get. Wonderful classic films, foreign films, and even newer movies. The app needs improving. The “resume playing” feature is buggy and inaccurate
  • Exceptional Curation

    The only streamer for me! Criterion is a collection of old and new film, skewing towards indie, documentary, and arthouse. There’s always something to watch, and it’s usually surprising. They also have a 24 hour channel so you can just turn it on like television and watch. As far as the app goes—it works great, no glitches.

    Love your service but there are 4 titles I wish you could add in the near future. La Dolce Vita, Pauline at the Beach, Duke of Burgundy, and A Summer’s Tale.

    title is self explanatory, literally just stop consuming reels and dumb things that melt your brain. find a piece of art that inspires you and makes you feel drive to do things in life. stop frying your nervous system with ai garbage and interact with humanity. its okay to feel things in life.

    At a time when David Zavlov is bragging about brave a choice it was to literally destroy art (which he called content), it makes me appreciate Criterion Channel even more. They genuinely care about art and I know they’re never going to offer a cheap version which interrupts your movies with ads for Swiffer. ETA: Still enjoying the heck out of this service! The best there is (though Arrow Player is pretty great too)
