Holy buckets. I was just looking at grabbing the Lionsgate release this morning figuring Criterion would never get this. Glad I held off. It'd be awesome if they could get their other works as well

[DanTheMan]

Julia Fox on BD? Another Adam Sandler on Criterion?

[Flexicon9]

Two words.. Julia Fox.

[themp3000]

This is a pleasant surprise. Also am I going to double dip? Highly likely. Just an absolutely excellent film.

[jjlikesonions]

I was hoping for 4k UHD on this one. hehe

[Modren]

Is this the first A24 release by Criterion? I'd love to see them pick up some other stuff, especially titles that were only released on BD-R like In Fabric and Climax.

[brainofj72]

WTF is the point of this? Not doing this in UHD is absurd.

[MifuneFan]

I'm hoping based on that cover that this will have a metallic slip.

[slasherdisc]

That’s incredible! Wish it was a UHD but either way, a must buy!

[metsfan1545d]

Have the first release

Don’t see this being worth a dip unless it’s an extended cut or something

That's how I feel. And if Criterion or someone else releases it on UHD, I will buy this film for a third time.

[MifuneFan]

Even though it's disappointing there's no UHD, the extras on this are what makes it worth it over the prvious BD, which only had one 30 min featurette. This movie deserved better as far as supplements went, and I'm glad Criterion, and the Safdie brothers are correcting that. This also has an Atmos track, which the Lionsgate BD didn't have.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

Might be one of the only Criterions I only buy.

[Snicket]

Love this, love to see more A24 with Criterion but dammit these releases need to be in 4K to really make sense for collectors.

[SpiderNerd09]

YOO, does this mean Good Time (2017) has a chance at being released from Criterion as well. That’s a sublime thought.

[jackranderson]

**** yes.

[HipsterTrash]

Will probably double dip due to my love for the film and the features.
Hope this is good signs of the Safdies getting their first two films on the label. Hell, I'd be chill with their other films too.
