    For a variety of films
  • If you’re serious about film

    I was a film major at NYU and, though most of my career has been in the theater, have continued to explore different corners of film history. Criterion has been useful in not only helping me see hard-to-find stuff but also stimulate interest in new areas. I do wish there were a way to suggest series and request specific films.
  • Life Changing

    The Criterion Channel is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I changed my name to protect my identity in case my wife Raquel’s or any of my kids Keanu, Slobodan, Honora, Judy, or Trenton see this because I MEAN it. They lock my phone up at work due to my obsession haha but in all seriousness, it’s the best app on my phone and the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is Criterion’s refusal to add THE STUPIDS (1996) to it’s otherwise stellar collection.
  • Excellent Streaming Service

    Sets the standard for how to highlight new additions, limited screenings and curating based on style, performer and taste. Always something available and worlds to explore!
  • Great movie options

    I would like the ability to sort my library, or to search by genre/director/title. But the sheer quality of content still makes it worth it
  • The best streaming platform!

    Best collection and it's not even close. The app is a little barebones but that's better to me in this era of autoplaying everything and overstimulation just to watch a movie. I don't think I'd add anything just keep as is!
  • Best Collection of Films Ever

    Forget Netflix, Max or Prime. Criterion is where it’s at. There is a never ending supply of amazing things to watch.

    I was one of the original members, and before that, subscribed to FilmStruck. I own well over 100 Criterion disks—so obviously I’m biased. But I could watch nothing but the Criterion Channel for the rest of my life and die a happy man. Their curation of the greatest international films of past and present, as well as the best of Hollywood, along with commentary about directors and genres by the brilliant and sparkling Imogen Sara Smith, David Bordwell and others—I GLADLY pay their subscription fee each year!
