Indie producers share why they're optimistic while Hollywood is wringing its hands over poor box office. The latest download from the Cannes Film Festival.
I've been hearing/seeing more about Mubi in the last couple of years but it's still very much in the background of the streaming landscape which probably contributes to it's reputation amongst the "high art" section of Letterboxd users.
Been a Mubi subscriber for some months now. Criterion isn’t available in Europe and Netflix/Amazon aren’t doing much for me as a fan of indie cinema and cinema history.
It’s a bit early to tell. I like their curation, and I explicitly like that their offering is very limited - in that it’s just a relatively small number of movies available for a certain time period. I’ve struggled with decision fatigue on other platforms, less so here.

What’s your verdict on how good it is and how it’s changing?

Will need to listen to this. Curious, do we know how many subscribers Mubi has? Is the business model working for them?
