Verdict
MUBI divides opinion. Some will absolutely love it, and others will hate it. If you like classic cinema, art and independent cinema and great films from around the world, then this is a simple way to have them delivered right to your screen, and the social features are appealing. That said, people who prefer blockbuster cinema and new releases or have more mainstream tastes will probably find MUBI’s handcrafted selection challenging and uninteresting. That said, the service is priced competitively so it’s worth sampling. You might be surprised and discover films that you wouldn’t ordinarily encounter.
