MUBI GO: Curated Cinema

MUBI Go is great. The cinema near me that plays the weekly movie is lovely and the choice each week has been fantastic. Introducing me to more obscure releases and then also getting to see the odd release I’ve been looking forward to

The app crashes on iPhone 6 iOS 12. UPDATE: The support advised me to update my iOS to version 13 completely ignoring the fact that I indicated that I am using a device which is incompatible with iOS 13. The app still crashes when trying to browse participating cinemas (error code: 915)

I love Mubi and Mubi Go, but every few weeks I get frustrated with not knowing what the next movie is going to be! Why is Mubi against letting us actually plan for a fabulous night out at the cinema? Come on, give us a list even if it’s just fortnightly. Thanks from literally everyone in the UK!

I want to cancel - thought I would get mainstream movies. How do I cancel please

I want to like MUBI GO but the app is glitchy to the point of being unusable. I’ll often have my qr up on my screen as I leave for the cinema, only to have that showing disappear by the time I’ve arrived (always in good time etc) - this means I then have to either return home or pay full price for a ticket. To add insult to injury, after paying for a ticket the cinema is only a quarter full eg. The showing wasn’t delisted for any reason. In short, this is unusable, and I’ve only manage to use my ticket on one out of five cinema visits. I’d strongly urge caveat emptor on this one.

Both in respect of the content of Mubi’s digital library and the functionality of the Mubi Go app. A free movie a week for this price is an absolute no-brainer for movie lovers!

Love this app

And not enough night times

Lies, didn’t get a cinema ticket and couldn’t watch Priscilla at home even after paying

I wanted a reason to get to the cinema more often and knowing I have a free ticket at my local independent is working. TV is fine but sometimes those series just go on and on. There’s something really magical about a story told in around two hours. An event that can have a real effect on your life, a world visited, characters who feel like real people who’ll always be with you - in one sitting. It’s a truly beautiful art form and a trip to the cinema on your own is a special kind of indulgence. Feels like good therapy for me. And I occasionally invite a friend too. Mubi’s selection of films to watch at home has brought me films I never would have seen otherwise and the rolling selection is a great antidote to the procrastination of so much “choice” on Netflix and the like.
