Better than the 2019 version

This was made in 2017 and then there was another movie of the exact same name made in 2019 that was absolutely terrible. Sony stole the whole premise of the movie and copied this 2017 movie and then they had a sequel to their copy a couple years later. Anything to make money…just steal from a much better movie and no one says anything about the title or the plot!? if I were the writer and director of this movie, I would be extremely angry at Sony

Unable to watch anything. Only getting an error message now

Not offered at my library

I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming and it won’t let me sign in using my library account

Great selection BUT…

The new update doesn’t open on my MacBook, running 27.0.1. Just the spinning wheel ad nauseum.

Nice selection of docs

Enjoying the selection, wished the app worked on my iPad.

Bonackers

While this is a documentary about Long Island in NY state, it might come as a surprise to many of our LBI visitors, there is an element of LBI that also is suffering the impact of state regulation, over development and economic development that impacts the lives of those who were here first. To borrow a Dylan phrase "Times they are a-changing." ... and not necessarily for the better.

Waste of time

Don’t waste your time if you don’t have a library card, which who actually has one at this time of a civilization or a student of a university

Great selections, experience can use some enhancement

Kanopy offers great the selection, what isn’t offered in other streaming platforms. Some tweaks to the experience will make this app great.

Audience’s management of their watchlist and continue watching list can use some tweaks to make the experience more consistent. Such as not having the current episode I’m watching disappear from my watch list and “remembering” at which point in the show (movie/TV episode) I left off.

I’d also love it if we could have temporary download so I can watch when offline.

Support your local library!

Great curation! Solid UI! You can’t beat the price!

Signal One

Interesting story. Reminds me of trilogy starting with ‘ The three body problem’ volume one of trilogy sci-fi story.

Map of library

Very difficult to look up library location because the "select" button does not work.

Type in the library address. The library address pops up. The select button does not work to activate this library

Angela‘s Shaddow

Terrible acting, cheap, very poorly done

Thank you!

I really appreciate having to have free movies.

Florida project

Ingenua y emotiva, Florida project nos hace vivir en los protagonistas de una manera peculiar. Tiene buenos enfoques y el ajuste al tamaño es algo interesante. La historia rueda sola y la luz y el color da atmósfera y comparte sensaciones que realzan la experiencia.

A Wonderment

This streamer is a superb source for Art-House Cinema, Great Documentaries, obscure forgotten movies, Foreign Films, etc. Very often when I can’t find it anywhere else it will only be on Kanopy, it’s a true godsend at times, a fantastic resource for a
Cinephile.

Children of dune

Interesting to see this what seems now as clumsy early fx. The original dune movie was a real favourite of mine. Oddly it was much slicker or so my memory of it seems to recall. As usual credits roll far too fast. But at least they were all there which is not the case with many other platforms.
The books are far more nuanced. Of course the books were far more nuanced and the political and religious analogous richer and better phrased. Some of diologue here is not miked well. Especially Sarandon, who talks far too fast. All in all a bit dispointing but worth a watch if you are a fan of Herbert.

kanopy is a great alternative to corporate streaming

i love the selection - no it’s not everything, but it’s a LOT. and the feel-good of not supporting the corporate streaming services is REAL.

Speed feature?

I think this is such a great app because you can get so many things for free streaming, but I desperately wish it had the option to speed up or slow down what I’m watching! I feel like all other streaming platforms have that…

Kanopy is a priceless resource

As our world becomes more fractured and more commodified, having common access to the art of cinema is such a precious gift. Art preserves our very humanity; it lets us share the richness of experience, across decades, across countries, across genres. I am so grateful to have Kanopy and I love telling others about it. Thank you Kanopy!
