And this was probably their best movie of the past year. I'm starting to believe that rumor that they're packing everything up next year and stop putting out discs altogether.

That rumor was roundly debunked almost as quickly as it appeared... but yes, this is a disappointing downward trend from WB in recent months.

Just received my copy in the mail and this whole thing just feels cheaply made. It's a shame because it's a powerful film and that's what matters, but still.

They’re keeping the 4K HDR10/DV versions exclusive to streaming unfortunately. Some may get a 4K release down the road depending on their success and critical acclaim, but others won’t.

Parasite wasn’t going to get a 4K Blu-ray but after it won best picture it did so maybe now that Daniel got an Oscar it’ll be released later this year.

yeah... I think even for The Little Things they did a thing like this.

Well, I did see The Little Things on HBO Max in 4K and it was really bad. So, I don't care if that ever gets a 4K release, but this? This is a fantastic movie and I can't ever go back to a presentation that is anything lower than 4K for a movie like this. I'm going to hold out as long as possible in hopes they release it on 4K Blu-ray. As for now, I am just going to get it directly on digital in 4K.

I agree. I haven't seen it yet but I think I've read the Master Audio is powerful and sick

What I am hoping is it'll get re-added to HBO Max at some point. If it's re-added in 4K again, I will definitely make sure to watch it for a 3rd time.

It kills me how shabby the whole package is.. it deserved better, especially with such an amazing HDR grade!

Watched this for the first time and thought it was good, but not great. Not a film I feel the need to watch again anytime soon. Felt like the Blu-ray looked great overall.

Very disappointed that there is no 4k release for this film, but will pick up the blu-ray to support more radical cinema getting made.

4K finally coming on February 11th
