I’ll be the first to admit that I had little faith in Mubi’s ascendancy until quite recently. When it launched in 2009, it seemed like a sweet little idea – a streaming service for arthouse movie geeks! – that was doomed to obscurity. I thought it would be one for people in their 20s who think they’re more into film than they actually are and would inevitably cancel their membership when they realise Reacher is about to arrive on Amazon Prime Video.
