A good idea spoiled by its implementation.

Shame that the experience is ruined by the same couple of issues that everyone is reporting. And no suggestion of a workaround or support. Might check back in 6 months to see if they have something that works. Otherwise a waste of time. Not even worth the free 30 days I'm afraid.

Simply terrible

The other negative reviews cover the problems with this app. It is a poorly developed platform. I've spent two evenings trying to watch a movie I rented. Constant buffering makes for a frustrating experience. This is a great idea for movie buffs which as been poorly executed. Cancelling my subscription after only 3 days.

Amazing films

Not sure why previous reviews are so negative. It's working perfectly fine for me. Amazing films you'd never find anywhere else's.

If I could give it 0 stars I would

So so so so bad!!!! Movies buffer (not my connection) and then stop playing all together...! We have just paid good money to watch a film that will not play through! You should be ashamed of yourself BFI!!! Maybe knowledge sharing with one of the big players in the streaming market will help you understand how this type of service should work! Honestly never again and I will of course warn other to save their cash and buy the film elsewhere - if it isn't showing else where ...wait until it is ...this is the worse service ever!!! ...clearly The BFI don't care as they haven't done anything to solve the problems their customers are complaining about and have been doing so for a long time!

Content not playable in the USA

This would be a great app if you could use it in the US. Movies not playable in my region...so worthless to me.

Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
CoreMedia
The Core Media framework defines the media pipeline used by AVFoundation and other high-level media frameworks found on Apple platforms. Use Core Media's low-level data types and interfaces to efficiently process media samples and manage queues of media data.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
Security Framework
Secure the data your app manages. Protect information and control access to your app.

Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool.

PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
