The distributor has responded to criticism of its decision to take investment money from Sequoia.

“Over the last several days, some members of our community have commented on the decision to work with Sequoia given their investment in Israeli companies and the personal opinions expressed by one of their partners. Mubi previously went on a buying spree at Cannes Film Festival, including spending $24 million on Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. Its biggest cinematic success so far is The Substance, which made approximately $80million at the box office and brought Demi Moore an Oscar nomination earlier this year.
