    Does anyone know of an app where you can watch art house or independent films?

    Not used it myself yet, but I've heard good things about the BFI player, might be worth checking out

    https://www.justwatch.com/ie is good if you have something in particular in mind. Checks netflix and prime, plus the hire prices on Google, sky, rakuten etc

    Mubi might be worh a look – https://mubi.com/

    They have a curated rolling catalogue, with films expiring after ~30 days and new ones being added.

    It's a pretty cool concept and there's almost always something worth watching.

    €9.99/month.

    Mubi is the only truly consistent streaming source for cool, interesting and niche films - new and old - available in Ireland.

    Also check out Channel 4’s rotating selection of films on their on demand service. Usually a few interesting films on there.

    If you want something specific, most films that get a commercial release can be rented on Google Play or the iTunes Store.

    Yes, need a vpn for bfi, but it looks worth it.
    Mubi looks good.
    Never heard of Google Play, but I notice it's on my phone !
    Thanks all for these

    Another vote for Mubi here.
    Also check out Curzon Home Cinema. Limited selection that rotates but often has a few arthouse films that are currently on cinema release.
