Anyone know anything about FANDOR as a service?

SO is interested in foreign and indie films.

She says it costs ~$7 a month

She thinks you get to see everything free. When she reads the description all I hear is the fee gets you something referred to as 'access'.

I'm concerned that access could just be a catalog and portal through which one rents movies.

Acorn doesn't offer anywhere near as much as Netflix or Amazon... Stonepounder Sep 2015 #4

but I think most of these films are available elsewhere. I already subscribe to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, and Acorn, so I don't need any more.

We haven't tried Acorn or Hulu Plus but found ourselves disappointed with Netflix and Amazon. Both of those services seemed to offered pretty much the same stuff in our perspective.

but...

If you are a fan of British(or rather UK) television, its great. Hidden gems you might never have heard of, and some oldies. Right now we are binging on 17 seasons of Midsomer Murders. (If you want to get totally blitzed, bringe watch MS, and take a drink sometime anyone in Midsomer gets knocked off.) We love it.

you will find a lot of British TV and (so far) TV from Korea, Japan, Russia, France, Nigeria, Germany, Italy, Australia, Sweden, and New Zealand. That's just TV.

In movies, it has the entire Criterion Collection of classic and foreign films.
