The Criterion Collection now streaming to Apple TV
Cinema lovers rejoice; the Criterion Channel streaming service has launched with a library of over 1,000 feature films, 350 shorts, and thousands of trailers, behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews, archival footage, and more.
As you’d expect from the Criterion Collection, feature content is presented in daily themes such as “Columbia Noir,” “Screenwriter: Suso Cecchi d’Amico,” and “Directed by David Lynch.” There’s a new theme each day to inspire you to find and try something new, but you always have access to Criterion’s entire streaming library that features constantly refreshed selections of Hollywood, international, art-house, and independent movies. Many titles are presented in their complete Blu-ray and DVD editions, and some unreleased titles are available, as well.
Additional features include:
- Ongoing programs of Hollywood, international, art-house, independent, documentary, and short films, including thematic programming, director and star retrospectives, and guest-curated series.
- Original Criterion Channel series such as Observations on Film Art, Adventures in Moviegoing, and Art-House America.
- Supplemental features to deepen your appreciation of the art of film, including audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, scholarly analyses, introductions, new and archival interviews, and trailers.
Interested subscribers can try the Criterion Collection via the free, 14-day trial, after which the service will cost $10.99/month or $99.99/year.
The Criterion Channel for Apple TV is available now for free in the App Store. For more information, visit www.criterionchannel.com.

My brother is trying to get on the Criterion channel during the free trial period, and most definitely will want to subscribe to the channel. He has an older Apple TV device, and an older Fire Stick. Both are at least 3 years old, I’m guessing – not new generation models ( Apple TV/Amazon Fire Stick). What do you suggest as being his optimal solution for connecting to Criterion? Will his current equipment work? He cancelled cable tv but still has an internet connection. He has a 3 year old Sony 1080i (50 inch) with HDMI, etc.
