Leave a Review MUBI
Canceled
I originally joined this great hope and enthusiasm, enjoying the foreign films on offer. But in the months that followed, my perception was that the joyful spark had gone out of the curation, subjecting me instead to enforced depression. When I first chose to leave, I was given a year’s discount if I stayed. I gave the service a second chance, but the selections only got more depressing. Living in our already depressing times and watching media that enforces that depression does not help anything or anyone. The rebellion of creative joy is what’s required. I canceled. If they do toss the morose for the motivating, I’d join again.Show less:-Derek
Well-designed platform, carefully curated films
MUBI is a terrific and valuable niche player for true movie aficionados. The independent and classic offerings are interesting, offbeat, and well-chosen — with engaging, pithy reviews (including a fun optional daily digest). The TV and iOS app are simple and well designed. Films are only available for a month, which is a downside — but it keeps things fresh. MUBI deserves to succeed as a companion to the mainstream offerings of the big players.Show lessiPhonalot
World class
MUBI is the only modern streaming service worth my time and money. The quality of films they curate are world-class, and as a cinephile and filmmaker, they continue to find movies that even I have never heard of but can count on to be great. I love their day in day out model, site and app design, the many platforms I can stream on, and the service they’re doing for the world - keeping indie, festival, and foreign cinema alive and easily available.Show lessDerbySymes
Stop questing
Endlessly scrolling myriad, seeming limitless options? Yeah, me too. I just want something good and I’ll know it when I see it and it probably won’t be among the most popular options. I have outsourced this activity to Mubi and I couldn’t be happier. If I watch one thing on TV a week, that is a lot of TV for me. Now with all the time saved questing for that perfect choice, I don’t feel like I’ve wasted my more time searching than enjoying.Show lessaaronkirsten
Some tech problems
I love MUBI, it’s a great service, I even gave it as a gift to a couple of friends who were just married. It turns me on to films and filmmakers I’d never heard of all the time. The one complaint I have is that the subtitles don’t always work. They’ll just drop out and then I’ll have to deselect subtitles and reselect to get them to work again. Minor but kills the experience. Hope they’re listening and can get this figured out.Show lessJksymz75
Highly Recommend for Art, Film, & Curious 💜
What more could you ask for then a different movie nightly.. Most likely, this array of excellent film is not already in your library. You will absolutely love this" "magically" 🎥revolving 30 day access to Always a different movie... I hope you love it as much as we have.Mrs.A.H.Long
Really wanted to like this
They have an intriguing movie selection. However, I canceled before my free trial ended. So many technical glitches, movies stopped playing repeatedly (over multiple nights) and returned to the menu, I wasn’t able to download movies, it said “please try again later” all evening. If I’d have paid I would have felt cheated.Show lesschristianmbrown73
Brightness
As is traditional in African original films, Brightness follows a mythological story, unique and human. While not in the tradition of western myth, African stories reveal a unique universal and innocent truth about human endeavors, completions, ethics and revenge, that speak truly to a very large audience. The first film of the sort I saw and recommend is Hyenas. It is a bit more Modern and definite revenge ,with a strong woman character.
Wonderful films.Show lessMou88i3
"downloads are no longer permitted on this version of iOS"
4/22 update: I tried to stream just now through your app and can't even go a minute without it immediately stopping and being told the network connection was lost. So congratulations mubi, for making your platform and movies inaccessible to developing countries without similar internet speeds and money. Thanks for being elitist mubi!!!!! Does that sentence make you happy?
paraphrased. This is very... this is very inconvenient especially for countries without the fastest internet connections. I am trying not to fume right now, MUBI. I have never regretted updating an app this much. PLEASE return that functionality to older iOS it was never a problem before.Show lessdorandre
Developer Response
We're sorry for this inconvenience, however we have indeed had to progress and evolve our app and the downloads feature, which regrettably meant dropping downloads support for devices previous to iOS 10. If you have any other questions regarding this matter please do contact us at support@mubi.com.Mubi delivers countless gems you'd other never find
Mubi introduced me to countless movies of otherwise never even heard of and ended up loving. Even if I'd have found them elsewhere I'd likely pushed off watching them for years. Because movies disappear from Mubi after 30 days I actually watch this stuff and it's great! Mubi is the best deal in streaming for cinephiles!Show lessAmurmann
