Criterion is awesome, superbly curated collection of movies. But, I have to give 4 stars for the APP. It's a bit outdated. The menus are stiff and dont even offer suggestions related to a title you're looking at. Which is super sad, because when searching the app you need specific key words input...I don't know every movie title out there or every actor's name... I must miss a lot of stuff thats on Criterion just because I dont even know it exists and they're not suggested somehow to me.
My favorite streaming service and it's not even close. So much new content added each month
Subtitles and Chromecast feature are really intuitive. Film curation is excellent as always.
Great Great great films. Well worth the money for this reason. Yet, a bit glitchy. On my app, the recently viewed stay at the top and don't disappear. And sometimes the app doesn't remember where you left off if you need to step away. Also, I think the app could benefit from a 10-15 second forwards/backwards button surrounding the pause button.
The app has never given me any trouble. Criterion is lit.
Best streaming service, hands down.
A cinephile's dream!
