  • Criterion is the absolute best!!

    This is my home for cinema, the best of the best of the best. Beauty, love, truth, violence, culture, intelligence, humor, storytelling at its absolute best. Where else can you see Kurosawa, Truffaut, Varda, Tati, together under one roof? Great directors. Great screenwriters. Great actors. From all over the world, and through time. And so much more. So. Much. More.

    The Criterion Channel is the essential streaming service for lovers of important cinema. The variety and scope of offerings is second to none. IF YOU HAVE A SAMSUNG TV: There’s a playback issue with the app where every video lags. However, using Apple AirPlay instead should work just fine.
  • Offline Download Feature Makes Me Sad

    Please please please fix this feature. Writing this from my tent in Yosemite and trying to watch a film from the Coastal Thrillers collection to no avail. Watched half of Key Largo last night and now I’m unable to play the second half. Fortunately I’m connected to one bar of 4G internet via my Orbic device which only allows me to type this poor review but sadly does not allow my to stream my downloaded film. If you need help finding developers to fix this app please contact me as I can recommend several app developers who can assist you with your faulty technology.
  • It was worth the wait.

    I was among the many deeply disappointed fans and subscribers of FilmStruck who raged at the gods of commerce when the service was canceled late in 2018. So when the Criterion Collection and Janus Films decided to come back independently, I couldn’t sign up fast enough. The service is just as intuitive and jam-packed as its predecessor.
