Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has criticised the straight-to-streaming model for films, saying they feel “like fake movies”.Across the pandemic, a host of films have foregone traditional cinema releases due to restrictions, and gone to streaming services straight away, something that is becoming more common even outside of COVID restrictions.In a CinemaCon appearance this week (as noted by the Los Angeles Times), Jenkins hit out at films made for streaming services.“Aren’t you seeing it?
