That is a massive scoop for Netflix, but not for cinemagoers who want to see Scorsese's films – normally visually impressive – on a massive screen with no distractions and the best sound system available. The fact
Silence flopped is a shame because I was really impressed with it and was looking forward to
The Irishman at the cinema if only because I loved the book on which it was based.
I'm less bothered that
13th, Ava DuVernay's brilliant documentary on mass incarceration in the US and the sociopolitical and judicial system behind it was only available to watch at home, but
Beasts of No Nation is something I wish I had seen at the cinema.
