It feels like a lot of the content on premium streaming services is the same or very similar. I find it difficult to tell which site I am using without checking. There is too much overlap these days (other than original content).

I am not a fan of how some of the more popular premium streaming services, such as Netflix, tend to produce their content. For the most part, it seems like they either produce amazing films that win awards or movies that are complete garbage. This is especially noticeable with Netflix, as they seem to either produce amazing work or movies that are not worth the money they spend on making them. Too often, this also includes movies that look like they were made quickly and do not have much thought put into them.

It seems as if the quality of content on many of these premium streaming services is lowering, with more and more mainstream, insubstantial shows and movies that don't take any time to entertain. For every Queen's Gambit there are at least five Turn Up Charlies - if you've never seen this show, don't bother; however, if you have it's worth watching right away.

This chasm in the quality of film has created a unique opening for a newer, underdog streaming service to rise up and garner some attention. I am talking, of course, about Mubi, the streaming service for only the most serious cinephiles around the world. If you?ve never heard of Mubi before, prepare to make some room in your monthly streaming budget for what just might be the best movie streaming site of them all - so long as we can use the term ?best? to mean a streaming site that specializes in providing only the best movies.

Mubi is proud of their curation team, a squad of film buffs and movie experts that scour international film festivals and competitions for the best movies from legendary and up-and-coming filmmakers alike. This team then selects only the best movies from these filmmakers for release on their platform.

Some people might say that Mubi is the Anti-Netflix. Netflix's strategy is quantity; Mubi's only concern is quality. That is not to say, however, that they have a small library of movies, though. In addition to offering some of the best cult classics, masterpieces, and contemporary greats, Mubi also produces their own original content as well, hiring only the most revered names in cinema today.

Mubi is constantly adding new high-quality films to its service, so you will never run out of content to watch. Actually, let's not use the word "content." Netflix puts out "content," whereas Mubi produces capital-F Films. If you are sick of the subpar, maybe it's about time you subscribed to a premium streaming service like Mubi that makes genius its M.O.

It is important to consider all of the different streaming services when making a decision. There are many to choose from, and you don't want to waste your money on something that isn't the best for you. Let's take a closer look at Mubi and see if it is the best movie streaming service for you.

Mubi used to be an online streaming service known as The Auteurs. The company was founded by Efe Cakarel in 2007. He started working on Mubi after being disappointed that he was unable to watch In the Mood for Love one day while in a café in Tokyo.

Mubi is focused on curating a unique and elevated film streaming experience. It sponsors and produces films, with production credits to Mubi visible in titles such as Port Authority, Farewell Armor, Tickled, and Our Men. Every day, Mubi adds a new staff-selected movie to its library.

Mubi's interface is sleek, dynamic, and user-friendly. Black, white, and gray thumbnails pop on the screen, and a search bar is available. Navigational menus are located at the top of the screen, and an overflow menu contains plenty of settings and features if needed. The main menu offers five choices: Now Showing, Library, Feed, Notebook, and your profile. Live events occasionally appear on the "What's On" tab.

At the top of the Now Showing screen, you will find a film of the day. Below that, there are several sections of side-scrolling movie thumbnails to choose from, separated by category (as is the custom with premium streaming site design).

I really enjoy the Mubi design. It is very intuitive and easy to use, and it looks great. It does everything that good design should do: it makes it easy to access the site's many features.

Additionally, Mubi hosts a variety of on-demand content. This can include movies and television shows that you can watch right away, or access to archived films and programs for later viewing. Additionally, Mubi offers a library of educational materials that can help you improve your English skills. Overall, Mubi has something for everyone who wants to use it.

Mubi also has two social features that are unrivaled in the movie streaming space. The Notebook is a live feed of social media posts and user reviews of Mubi movies, and the Feed is a live feed of social media posts and user reviews of Mubi movies. Although this doesn?t prove to be the most useful feature in terms of discovering new content, it is fun and adds a certain level of community to Mubi that I have longed for in other movie streaming services.

Mubi is a built-in film blog that posts reviews and editorial content written by film buffs who work at Mubi. This adds an extra layer to the Mubi experience, providing expert insight into what and how to watch.

Your profile on Mubi will include all of your social features, such as ratings, reviews, a favorites list, and your friend list. Additionally, you can make your profile private if you prefer.

Mubi is available on many devices and is a great choice for anyone. With apps on iOS, Android, PC, Mac, Apple TV, PlayStation, Roku, and Samsung Smart TV, Mubi has many devices to choose from.

The iOS mobile app is smooth, intuitive, high speed, and virtually flawless- which is probably why it was able to earn an average user rating of 4.8 (out of 5) on the Apple App Store. Additionally, you can download films to your phone and watch them when you are without WIFI or cell service.

If you are still on the fence, there is a free 7 day trial. If you decide it is not for you, no big deal, just cancel within that first week. However, if you fall in love with Mubi (as I have), it will cost you $10.99/month. Alternately, committing to 1 year gets you a 36% discount, coming to $83.88/year.

Mubi offers a discounted subscription service for students at just $6.99/month. This provides students with the full scope of the Mubi service.
