    The collection is great but the app is terrible. It’s buggy and offline downloading never works. Endless loading loop even when the films are fully downloaded.
  • I am so grateful for this app

    I’ve been a fan of indie films since the early 90s (old IFC days) which had opened my eyes to more foreign films, directors, genres, etc etc. Being able to watch old favorites through the criterion channel and also discover more has been a great source of fulfillment for me. I love the watch now feature that allows you to simply check out what criterion has decided to play at that time. Helps for not having to decide and for discovering new things. I’m now on a Japanese New Wave kick! This channel is totally worth it for any film lover. I enjoy watching on my phone as well.
