  Martin Scorsese may like to think of “Killers of the Flower Moon” as the Western that he always wanted to make, but this frequently spectacular American epic about the genocidal conspiracy that was visited upon the Osage Nation during the 1920s is more potent and self-possessed when it sticks a finger in one of the other genres that bubble up to the surface over the course of its three-and-a-half-hour runtime.

  The first and most obvious of those is a gangster drama in the grand tradition of the director’s previous work. Just when it seemed like “The Irishman” might’ve been Scorsese’s final word on his signature genre, they’ve pulled him back in for another movie full of brutal killings, bitter voiceovers,…

  Review by Matt Neglia ★★★★½ 11

  KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is an epic crime western that in the old days would’ve been a radio show but today we typically see as a podcast or television miniseries but not when you give Martin Scorsese over $200 million and full creative freedom. The result is some of Scorsese’s darkest thematic content to date. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro & Lily Gladstone are all phenomenal delivering performances worthy of awards recognition. The powerful ending (which will be widely discussed) took this from being great to another masterpiece from the world’s greatest living director. A tragic rumination on greed & power.

  “You got a better chance of convicting a guy for kicking a dog than killing an Indian.”

  Amongst the many things that make Martin Scorsese’s films so special, one that has always stood out to me is the sheer empathy with which he manages to portray his characters.

  In Killers of the Flower Moon this is not only notorious, but essential.

  This film perfectly and heartbreakingly portrays the treatment of indigenous people at the hands of white people, who have only ever seen them as a means to an end rather than human beings made of the same flesh and blood as them.

  As many have already said, Leonardo DiCaprio gives what could be a career-best performance as a war…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I am still searching for my words; my thoughts first ran dry in the opening minutes of the shattering and evocative “Killers of the Flower Moon.” It begins with the Osage tribal elders mourning the loss of their language and customs as they bury a sacred pipe. The scene breaks, next revealing these Indigenous folks — forcibly moved from Missouri to present-day Oklahoma (thought to be terrible, barren land) — discovering oil as psychedelic music erupts with the splash of the black liquid. A black-and-white newsreel montage — with intertitles — explains how the Osage nation received generational wealth from the discovery of black gold, allowing them to send their children to country clubs and universities, where they were assimilated…
