Why deciding is harder than it should be

Weekends are when you finally have time for that film you've been saving, the series everyone keeps recommending, or the director's entire filmography. Matinee helps you plan your weekend watching with a ranked list of your most wanted titles, filtered by what's available to you.

Who this is for
