    I feel like streaming services have basically become delivery devices for product, not stories. How refreshing to find that The Criterion Channel is the complete opposite. I especially enjoy the curated lists (such as of films of the apocalypse, New Hollywood, courtroom dramas, etc.). It’s like having a smart, film-buff friend create a playlist for you.

    Best selection for any movie fan. The curated collections are the best thing any streaming service has done. The 24/7 channel is great too.
  • yes the films are vintage, but please maybe consider an overhaul of the platform? jumping thru hoops

    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 decides to come back independently, I couldn’t sign up fast enough. Other than some hiccups that I am sure will get ironed out—downloaded films don’t play consistently—the service is just as intuitive and jam-packed as its predecessor. Here’s hoping that we get more than just two brief years with the Criterion Channel.

    Worth the subscription to have access to this extensive amount of quality films from around the world. There isn’t enough time in the day to watch all the films I would like to enjoy.

    Criterion is always my first go to when I’m thinking of watching something. Literally the best streaming service out there. Some of the best films on a service platform. I cannot recommend it enough 🤌🏼
