Great Value

You’re never going to find a better collection of films under a single streaming service. Superb.

Not about movies!

ٰVahid Askarpour on

The most important thing about this channel, I think, is that it is not a service to just watch a movie! More than that, it is where you can learn about cinema, and discover everything cinematic in its purest sense of the word. It is an authentic school for all cinephiles; the criterion channel is the pure joy of cinematography! I love it!

The Best!

THE perfect app for serious cinephiles and film nerds. So many incredible classics available along with amazing special features. Best streaming app out there.

For movie lovers!

Bilheth on

Criterion collection is the best of the best. Hands down, you are not a real cinephile unless you sign up for this service. The only reason I give it for stars because I think this review is also really about the app itself. I think the app could be better in terms of being able to have more effective control of fast forward and rewind. I also think that there is a lot of amazing movies that criterion collection has that are not appearing to me when I’m browsing. I love the curated collections and I would say to keep going with that.

Great
