Letterboxd Announce Video Store

Apps

Letterboxd have announced a new “video store.”

This isn’t a subscription service! No lock-in, no paywall. Just rent the films you want, whenever you want, and join the conversation with our community logging, reviewing and adding them to lists.

Letterboxd Video Store is a film rental platform inside Letterboxd. Think of it as curated shelves instead of just scrolling lists endlessly without being able to make up your mind on what to watch.
