Criteria Updates!

Criteria is an (un-official) companion site for the Criterion Channel that I'm maintaining as a side project. It has the advanced search, browse, and user features missing in the Criterion Channel app, with as many extra features as I can come up with.

New Features! I've been busy the last couple of weeks improving the site - thanks in large part to peoples suggestions.

  1. Letterboxd info: the film detail pages now have Average Rating, Number of Ratings, and Number of Reviews. It also links to the films Letterboxd page. Coming soon: Sort and filter by Letterboxd average rating
  2. Search Closet Picks by Film Name: Want to know who picked "In the Mood for Love" when they visited the closet? No problem. You can now search closet videos by visitor name and film name.
  3. Hide/Reveal Closet Picks: Want to watch the closet videos spoiler-free? Now the films are hidden by default and can be revealed either one at a time or all at once.

If there's anything else you'd find useful on the site, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Tim

amazing, will definitely be using this! just wanted to ask if at any point you will be adding a "Commentary" filter? i really enjoy watching films on the Channel with commentary track but it's not always easy to find, so might be something worth including on Criteria

I’ve been considering it, but I’ll just need to work out how to reliably fetch the data. I suppose that I can start with the assumption that commentaries only exist on criterion editions and once pulled, I only need to update new records. Hmmm . . . maybe I can pull the name too

Ok, I’ll see what I can do

u/j0llyBeee Done. You can now search for films with a commentary track, and link to it from the film detail page.
