I only had it for three months but I found lots of movies that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I also like that, while there’s some movies from Hollywood, they prioritize recs of independent and foreign movies. The only reason I cancelled was because I had too many subscriptions already. The offer at the time was too ridiculous not to take. Once it passed, I cancelled but overall I thought it was a good experience.

I have had a criterion channel account for about 5-6 years now. It’s my favorite streaming service due to the endless amount of incredible films its houses. I haven’t used it for some time due to being busy but haven’t cancelled it because (not exaggerating) there’s like 20 or so friends, maybe more, who use my account regularly. From filmmaker friends to cinephiles, it’s nice knowing they put it to good use and it feels great to provide that access since I’m able.
Funny story — I saw my ex recently and she mentioned that her new roommate (who used to date my friend) were sitting down to watch a movie together.
They turned on the tv and logged into criterion channel to find it was on MY account, so even after the breakup, my friend’s ex has access to watch great films, which I’m cool with haha!
I‘m a big supporter of criterion but not everyone can afford it so highly recommend sharing logins where you can!

the app/website "eternal family" is fairly new and i found an animation i scoured the internet for years ago n couldnt find on there. i even looked at the site i just posted on my last rec.
but this app.... omg. short films/animation/stop moption/full movies...... yes $10 a month is a lot to me too but to just commit to one month n set a reminder to cancel the subscription has been so worth it to me, imma subscribe another month. ive never heard of 98% of the media on here and its all beautiful and inspirational. i might cancel a diff streaming service just to validate myself into keeping this one. wow
