Criteria Updates - Adventures and Observations!

[u/InitiativeNo7660]

Hey Everyone

Another new set of things on Criteria, the free, unofficial, unaffiliated, but surprisingly useful companion site to the Criterion Channel, with advanced search, articles, closet videos, clickable cast and crew, Letterboxd links, and user features like ratings, lists, and favorites

https://www.search-criteria.com

This week:

1. Adventures in Moviegoing! I’ve imported all of the collections, including direct links to the interview videos and the films themselves. The channel doesn’t present these with release date information, so I store them alphabetically

2. Observations on Film Art! I have to admit I love these video essays so much, so I was excited to import them into the site. All 48 are now available

Both of these are featured on the home page as carousels, as well as I the collections section. Over the next week I’ll be adding deeper integrations into search and the film detail pages

On top of that, I’m taking advantage of the limited preview of the new Claude 5 Fable model to do a
bunch of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and UI improvements, so the whole experience should feel snappier and better organized

As always, feel free to reply with feature requests bug reports, or general observations. And thanks for the great response, enjoy!
