    Criterion has been at the forefront of film appreciation for decades. Restoring and providing contexts is what they do best! Great foreign, silent, lost, and classic selections!
  • Great app for a great streaming service

    Criterion is the best! User-friendly app and (of course) an amazing selection. My only beef is that you can’t get the app on an LG TV (fine on Roku though)
  • So many movie selections

    I want to use and like this app, but I forever see only a loading indicator any time I try to watch any movie on it
  • It was worth the wait.

    I was among the many deeply disappointed fans and subscribers of FilmStruck who raged at the gods of commerce when the service was canceled late in 2018. So when the Criterion Collection and Janus Films decided to come back independently, I couldn’t sign up fast enough. The service is just as intuitive and jam-packed as its predecessor.
  • If you truly love film...

    ...then you subscribe to the Criterion Channel. It's that simple. No other streaming channel can match what it does.
