    There’s always something to watch on Criterion, from pure trash to the highbrow. It’s the only streaming service worth paying for (except maybe Shudder)

    The folks at Criterion do the best job at both contextualizing and celebrating some of the best films that have been made. I always find something interesting to watch. With so many special features you can dig into the art of film in a way no other platform does. I’ve been a subscriber since this service was Filmstruck, and with the way it enriches our life I’m planning to be subscribing for a long time to come.
