Martin Scorsese's latest film, 'Killers of the Flower Moon', has been released and is receiving a mixed response from critics. The film, based on David Grann's non-fiction book of the same name, explores the Osage Indian murders in the 1920s. The cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone.
The film's narrative focuses on the systematic murder of the Osage people after valuable oil deposits were discovered on their land. The FBI's investigation into these murders is a central plot point, with DiCaprio playing the role of Ernest Burkhart, an accomplice in the murders.
Critics from Insider praised the film's cinematography and performances, particularly DiCaprio's, but noted that the film's pacing was slow at times. The Ringer echoed these sentiments, lauding the film's visual storytelling but criticizing its pacing and narrative structure. The New York Post's review was more critical, arguing that the film failed to fully explore the historical context of the Osage murders.
HuffPost's review was more positive, praising Scorsese's direction and the performances of the cast. However, they also noted that the film's depiction of the Osage people could have been more nuanced. Despite these criticisms, the film has been generally well-received and is considered a strong addition to Scorsese's filmography.
The film is based on David Grann's nonfiction book of the same name, which tells the story of the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma during the 1920s.
Scorsese's film is a departure from his usual gangster fare, focusing instead on a dark chapter in American history.
