This is digital preservation. When streaming services eventually cycle "Laurence Anyways" off their platforms, they will leave behind a compressed, low-bitrate ghost.

Streaming versions (Mubi, Amazon) often use a different master – cropped to 1.78:1 or with Dolby’s later “remastered” color grading. The 2012 Blu-ray (this rip) has the original 1.85:1 and the intended 2012 color timing.
