If I were Martin Scorsese, I might be a little frustrated that a film that's already getting such acclaim will only get a limited theatrical release before arriving on Netflix. He's an old school auteur in the best way, so having a movie show at the local movie theater is a big deal. But times have changed, and having a movie on Netflix is part of that evolution. It doesn't have to be a bad thing. It just means someone like me will be able to actually see The Irishman this year instead of maybe waiting until it showed up later on HBO, or having to buy it on DVD.
