Favorite Streaming App for Cinephiles
A lot of issues I have with several other streaming apps were resolved with The Criterion Channel. I was bothered by the lack of special and extra features in streaming services, such as Netflix, which made physical media much more appealing to me overall. Also, most streaming services are bereft of classic hollywood cinema, indie films, and foreign films and have a constant stream of mainstream or populous media. This creates a stale library content for most streaming services and quality varies immensely month to month. The Criterion Channel is the main streaming service that I know of (other than Mubi) that dedicates itself to a strong curation of content from cinema around the world and around different time periods while also including many special features existing in only the physical media versions of these films. Also, they have specialized playlists and categories that are centered around film genres, directors, technical works, and themes that are rare to see in other streaming services (or at least this level of dedication). Please subscribe to The Criterion Chanel and give it a watch. I do not want this streaming service to suffer the same fate as Filmstruck and would like this stand its ground against the other streaming giants.

Favorite Streaming Service
While I mourned the end of Filmstruck, I’m even happier with the Criterion Channel. I initially thought it was going to be just Criterion films, but that’s not the case due to the differences between streaming rights and distribution rights. So, films that Criterion may not be able to acquire for physical releases (even if they want them) may very well be easier to license for streaming. This keeps it interesting! The whole channel feels extremely curated in the best way possible, down to each well written synopsis. And of course, the supplemental videos for some films are *chef’s kiss* fantastic. In the past month or so I’ve really only been using this app to watch movies. A lot of the other services feel so bogged down lately by so many options and I can never tell the quality. It was getting frustrating until I remembered I had this app. Oh and if you feel overwhelmed by all the new stuff you’ve never heard of before, check out their Instagram - they’re constantly posting about interesting films and series. Sometimes all it takes is seeing a screenshot of a film for me to watch it! As far as functionality goes, I have no complaints. Maybe in the future they could have a rating or like feature so the app could recommend films.
Brainymcgyver,
The History of Cinema at your fingertips
In my opinion, there is no better collection of movies and film than the criterion collection. You can find works from all of the greatest directors, a treasure trove of world cinema, the most important and influential films of all time, not to mention numerous short films, interviews, commentary and more. It’s literally the history of film laid out before your very eyes. Any true cinephile has access to this channel or has shopped this collection. I thought I loved movies, but once I started exploring this collection my love and appreciation for them deepened and grew exponentially. This is film as an art form and not just entertainment. I would say the only reason you would NOT want to start watching movies from the criterion collection is because once you do you can never watch a crappy Netflix movie again without feeling guilty that you just wasted 2 hours of your life. You’ll ruin 90% of all other programming on contemporary channels because it will all pale in comparison to what criterion has to offer. If you want to keep on sifting through trash, then keep with your current viewing habits, but if you want to expand your horizons then dive into all that Criterion has to offer!
a pleased cinephile,
THE best streaming service! Ditch ur Netflix! They mostly program garbage and u know it
Like many fans of the Criterion Collection, I was frustrated with FilmStruck’s bugs and sad when it ended. But the Criterion Channel is SUCH an improvement. Some of the best movies you will ever see are available in their rotating selection of movies. I own about 40 criterion titles in physical form but I have to say, the channel may be the best way to experience the best of the Criterion Collection. Their sections on 21st century cinema and Women Filmmakers always point me towards great films. The Saturday matinees and Friday double features are excellent as well. I would also like to shoutout whoever it is that is managing the Channel’s collection. There have been some valid complaints lodged against the Criterion Collection due to the lack of diversity (specifically black directors) in the collection, but the Channel is an incredible resource for filmmakers that haven’t made it into the physical Criterion Collection, usually due to distribution rights. They’ve had great retrospectives of Kathleen Collins, Cheryl Dunye, Charles Burnett, Terence Nance, and many more. It is a Wonderful service, and I can’t recommend it enough!! Love u Criterion Collection lmk if ur hiring I graduate in May xoxoxoxo
Middle-Age Snow Day,
So disappointed. This is a mess
When Criterion announces their streaming service I signed up as a charter member on day one. The day the app went live I was there. I was ready. Then I was extremely disappointed.
I’m only going to say what so many others have said in these reviews and what Criterion keeps ignoring apparently. No full list of every title. They instead gave us a list on a separate website?! Then I use that list to add all the titles I’m interested in. Look at the list, switch back to the app, search the app, add the film. This literally took me 90 minutes to do. Then I realized that there was a limit to how many films could be in your wishlist! Are you kidding me?! So half the titles I added pushed out/deleted the other half. Add to this the horrible, almost unusable interface and search function and I sadly deleted my membership and the app. Over the past two months I come here and check the release notes to see if these things have been corrected. Nope. Criterion doesn’t seem to care. As the developers of this app they have the ability to read the reviews here and add their own response. But they don’t. I suppose the reason why is because they have no intention of improving this app. Which is sad. I am a huge fan of film and the criterion collection. It’s been painful to watch this company sabotage it’s own product and ignore user complaints and concerns.

AV Archives Nerd,
loyal customer
I came over with some trepidation from FilmStruck, where I found the Criterion offerings on there often less compelling than the rest of FilmStruck. Nonetheless I joined as Charter member and have been glad to be a part of it since it’s launch. The app continues to grow slowly and lack some of the functionality I want, particularly stability of progress in a film and uninterrupted broadcasts, but the care in curation and greater inclusion of added features contextualizing films more than makes up for all the areas still in need of improvement. I’ve found the new releases to be addressing my concerns more and more as they go along.
Finally, I’ve found the mix of the familiar art house classics has been expanded with better coverage of earlier eras of Hollywood, series featuring the work of directors who have just released a new film, and a healthy stream of films from the last decade and a commitment to highlighting women filmmakers that has become stronger and stronger.
As someone from the film archivist community I also deeply appreciate the priority placed on new restorations and highlighting the many people who make them possible.

AnnieOrbit,
Great and Not
The Criterion Channel’s selection of classic and art films is worthy of 5 stars. I had no issues searching for titles and exploring the catalog. It was exciting to have found, at last, a streaming service with movies I actually want to see and can download and watch offline. And that’s where this app falls woefully short—-offline viewing. Every film that I’ve downloaded to watch offline has randomly frozen then restarted, sometimes all the way back to the beginning of the film. Freeze, restart, 10 minutes of film then freeze, restart, 3 minutes of playback then freeze, restart back at the beginning. There are no real viewing controls available other than the slide bar so there is no way to easily resume or scroll back 10 seconds or so. I reported the freeze issues to the developers who, much to my surprise, have been super-responsive, suggesting workarounds and following up with me, so 5 stars for support, but the problem persists. I find all of this puzzling—you would think a video playback application to be a no-brainer. I download and watch films using my public library’s app all the time and playback is always perfect. I won’t be signing up for Criterion Channel after the trial period because at this point in time films downloaded for offline viewing do not playback properly.
The FourMinerz Expert,
Absolutely essential
No other streaming service out there makes watching great cinema quite so accessible. Mubi is great, Kanopy and Fandor are also good, but the Criterion Channel is exactly what we needed after FilmStruck, the former greatest thing ever, was shut down last year. In many respects, Criterion Channel is better, as it is easier to navigate and more appealing to the eye. The catalog is smaller, but with time I imagine it will expand to the great size of the late FilmStruck catalog. Nevertheless, the catalog currently available is chock full of great cinema, new and old, domestic and foreign, entertainment and artistic. There’s a film in here for everyone, and the app makes finding such films super easy. The way the app features films on the front page is very unique, as rather than an algorithm aggregating a bunch of movies under some generic genre title such as “independent dramas” a la Netflix, the people working on this app create a new themed collection of a few films every days. There are double features, short + feature pairs, director highlights, studio highlights, female filmmaker spotlights, etc. Long live cinema, and love live the Criterion Channel!

Choices. A Plethora of Choices!
I love the style and variety of cinema from different parts of the world that criterion channel has in it’s vault. There’s a certain sense that these movies were not meant to be forgotten and left in the waste bin of history collecting dust and fading away from the collective conscious. I’m so happy to see some of my old favorites (Kurosawa and Kubrick), but more importantly than that, new discoveries opening my vantage point of what I can imagine. There’s definitely a rabbit hole you can get into here. There was a month of Toshiru Mifune films and I literally binged them. Some I haven’t even seen from him or seen him act in, a dramatic role vs. as a samurai. This isn’t just for those high brow snobbery film critic reviewers. I think there’s a recency bias as far as, “oh if it was made in 1935 it can’t be good). My ex-girlfriend used to say, “if it’s in black-and-white it’s useless”. I was shaking my head, but moving on. Criterion has my favorite film of all time - “Ikuru”, with hours of extras! If you give that one a shot you’ll enjoy it. Good luck on your foils odyssey.
j finicky,
Good however better Play-Pause-Rewind interface would be a benefit
Wonderful selection and page layouts. The only improvement could be a better Play-Pause-Rewind interface. There is a lag of three or four seconds after opening the program and touching the casting logo, while playing a film, before the Play-Pause-Rewind appears. When it Appears, options are two arrows backwards/forwards or play/pause. The arrows for back or forward could be labeled as -15 sec or -30 sec to be more helpful. Currently the arrows move the film back/forward by 10 sec. And because of the lag if I'm are trying to jump back like 30 secs, I will be there pressing the back arrows over and over trying to guess when it reaches -30 secs. It's frustrating. NBD, however, Just adding 30 back/forward buttons would be helpful or adding two 15 sec and two 30 sec back/forward buttons would be amazing. These movies are so lush and it is so easy to miss dialogs in old films, it would be a big plus for someone like me who likes to be thorough in her dissections of the films. Thank you.
