A great selection of films, and the mobile app is fire! The other streaming services should take notes. Criterion really cares about the viewer.

The app works well and keeps a great catalog of classic or significant films in its roster. Like many video platforms it rotates its selection of available titles but always has something worthwhile to watch. The Criterion Channel like its physical counterpart is an integral resource for anyone who loves film, film history, or just discovering a new artist to appreciate.

As a lover of film and movies. And one that likes the "weird" movies haha, this is a great app with so many classics and pivotal title streaming.

Since the latest update videos do not play as well and constantly buffer on my phone. Ill be canceling my subscription due to this

Roku problem with latest update. Movies with commentary default to on, can't turn commentary off. Used to be a separate selection. Movie here, with commentary here, deleted scenes here, etc. Now Android app says to update also, not doing it. Of course support is worthless. I guess MGM, Netflix, or Max is getting my money at renewal
★☆☆☆☆Logan Bowers· Sep 25, 2026
Genuinely why is it that when I try to sign in on my TV, all the links send me to this app, but then the app does nothing? It just opens up like normal. No options to help me sign in on my TV. Yet for some reason I can't manually enter in my email & password on the TV app even tho manually entering it works on my computer and phone??? Just bought a year's subscription, so I could watch movies on my TV cause that's the only place I watch them, yet that is the only place it doesn't work!

It kept saying my email had already been used for the free trial and there was no way to argue? I normally really like criterion, but after this one movie im deleting the app and will never use again
