Hi Lemmy,

I'd love to make a list/index of good websites for movie / TV reviews and recommendations with all of your help.

I will keep updating the post and add categories

Most of the things that I watch are US content or a derivative and I feel like I'm missing out. On more curated sites like rogerebert.com there are a is a lot of non-US content which I really like.

Are there more sites like Rogerebert? Is there something like an english Cahiers du Cinema? Is there a rotten tomatoes for Asian or European movies?

Maybe the mods can eventually make a nicer post and pin it.

I just want to plug criterion. They have essays on all their films that are really well done, often with the directors themselves. Also the criterion channel is amazing!

I always keep one streaming service subscribed so as not to be a total scrub, and I have a hard time imagining going back to Netflix or whatever.

They're usually denser, often foreign films that require and reward undivided attention, but worth it imo. They often come with commentaries and interviews with the directors. Martin Scorsese for example has a bunch of content up on it.

Some teasers of curated collections they have
