4 questions, like "Where can I stream The Rainbow?"
Quick answers from GoodWatch data.
In the United States, The Rainbow streams on Lionsgate+, and it is free with ads on Plex and Tubi TV. You can rent or buy it from Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube, and Fandango At Home. It also streams in 10 other countries.
Opinions are mixed, with a GoodWatch score of 61 (IMDb 6.3 and Rotten Tomatoes 63%).
It suits a quiet night in as a couple: romance is 7 of 10, but the viewing guide doesn't list it for date night.
Mostly character-driven: it leans on character depth (9 of 10) and pathos (8 of 10) more than on its plot.
