Where to Watch Solaris(1972)

Solaris (1972), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, is a drama film and is available to stream on 13 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 7.9/10 and 92% on Rotten Tomatoes from 1,826 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1972, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1970s drama, and remains widely watched decades later.

The film stars Natalya Bondarchuk, Donatas Banionis, and Jüri Järvet. At 167 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.

If you're looking to watch Solaris online, the best option is Max for subscribers, and it's also included with HBO Max Amazon Channel and Criterion Channel, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Gattaca and Cruel Intentions, both of which are available to stream right now.
