  • really nice! Criterion should have this as a view on their website!

  • Nice to be reminded of the collection, and another way to present it.

    I want to view the boxes, especially after filtering, grouped near eye level and seeing the faces not just the spines.

    Nice to see VR (potential for XR), cool use!

  • I’m going to use the heck out of this!

    Just one suggestion: Could you add another sort order for the list view based on the number of “closet picks”? It would be cool to see which films are most popular among Criterion Closet guests.

  • Awesome! I recently replaced Netflix for Criterion so this is quite welcome!

  • The text really needs some better rendering technique. It is very hard to read. Have you considered Slug https://github.com/EricLengyel/Slug ?

  • Nice!

    Would be really nice to have links to director's picks. Eg I clicked on Che, saw that it was in Denis Villeneuve's list, and wanted to check out his other picks.

  • If you don't know what the Criterion Closet is, it's a YouTube channel run by Criterion which is a movie publisher/ distributor (?).

    The channel has a mobile trailer full of their movies in DVD and blu ray. They are well respected in the industry and are able to get famous actors to come into the "closet" and pick out their favorite movies and comment on why they like them.
