BUSINESS INQUIRES:

Thank you for watching! :)

I'm from Oklahoma and was forced to take Oklahoma History in high school and after seeing this, I was furious that neither the Osage Reign of Terror or the Tulsa Riots were even mentioned in class, an unbelievable disgrace.

De Niro is absolutely terrifying in this. Portrays a vile disgusting human and succeeds in making us despise him. One of the best of his entire career for sure

[Dethmaster]

Martin Scorsese making almost only 3 hour long movies and all of them turning out great is such a late-career flex

[cordels.]

As a Native American viewer I love the fact that this story is being told at all, even more so when it’s done by a true artist

[mjolninja]

One of the most amazing scenes was when the Mother had died and there were her ancestors and everything was quiet.

Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, then later Napoleon. 2023 has been a surprisingly great year for movies, and a massive breath of fresh air from the past decade of Marvel/Disney dominance. I hope these films pave the way for a return to high quality, story driven, serious historical dramas. We desperately need authenticity in a sea of corporate, manufactured, lowest common denominator seeking media.

Edit: I saw Napoleon and it was mediocre. I guess I rescind this comment. I hope hollywood will be better next year.

Brandon Fraser’s performance was one of the only things that felt awkward. I think DiCaprio played the part perfectly in terms of a big, lazy, not so smart low life who gets lucky by having a powerful uncle and charming a wealthy wife. He’s pretty basic, only loves money, never wants to work for it, and he loves his wife. He’s a simpleton and he’s a loser, but he thinks he’s smarter than he is, so it was a nice change of pace seeing him being a weak character and not the smart, in control, troubled hero he normally plays.

I've never had a chance to see a Martin Scorsese film in the cinema and God, I can't wait to see this one

[KircherTalksEntertainment]

Your comment about true crime stories being so manufactured and digestible makes the ending even more meaningful to me.

[stephenshea]

The movie is the quickest 3.5 hours of my life. It’s surprisingly really fun and funny while also being incredibly heartbreaking and intense.

[fromgreattobrilliant]

I actually liked Brendan Frasers performance. He does a great job portraying a lawyer, and his gaslighting scene is very well executed. Almost like both concepts go hand-in-hand or something.

[metaleg]

Having been moved so deeply by the film, the ending caught me by surprise. It’s a big slap in the face (in the best way possible) and a wake up call on the trivialization and consumption of true crime.

[nationalcoasternews]

I’m seeing this tomorrow, I cannot express the level of excitement I’m feeling. The fact that we get to see a brand new Martin Scorsese movie in theaters in 2023 just feels so unbelievably special. This man is probably the biggest champion of cinema alive today. So glad you loved it, makes me that much more pumped

[saracafiero]

I agree on pretty much everything. I was skeptical about its length at first, but as I was watching I understood why it is as long as it is, not only it gives scorsese all the time to tell this story like it deserves to be told, it makes it more effective because you’re soaking up this rotten and tense atmosphere and it’s terrifying. The ending was perfect. It’s definitely my favourite scorsese movie

[jackcharlotte]

I felt similarly about the ending. It threw me off at first, but once I got a grasp on it found it to be brilliant. Marty has certainly been guilty of simple text crawls when he gets to the end of his films Based On A True Story. So to do what he did here instead was not only really refreshing, but as you said a great way to tackle the true crime subject matter.

[Michael-cvwk]

This film had some of the coolest editing I've ever seen.

[tristanlecoz]

The flaw of the film was telling it from Ernest's point of view that he's the least interesting interesting of the lead characters, fairly one dimensional in his greed and stupidity.I would have preferred more time spent on mollie and the Osage community since they are the heart and of the story as well as the primary motivations behind everything that goes on in the film

[warowords]

Just saw it twice in 24 hours. Once on a standard screening and once in Dolby Cinema. I liked the smaller screen for this film and I felt the length was perfect. If it had an intermission, I would of sat for another 3 hrs. Its a great film, it really sticks with you.

[Bayuuk]

I actually really liked the kind of self-aware ending, that it works a lot, especially with the people in that sequence. I love the last sequence between Ernest and Molly, Molly's emotions were palpable it was insane. Leo actually does do some intense overacting, but his performance was very reminiscent of Wolf for me.

SPOILERS PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE AND DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE ENDING















Did not think the ending would hit me in the way that it did. Not that I wasn’t sad for the whole movie cause God it’s just brutal to even think about, but when Marty showed tf up, I kinda giggled at first but when he looked at the camera and talked about Mollie, I broke down dude. I was so immersed in the movie and the story and that moment broke the line between cinema and reality and in a very short instance, it all just crushed me, especially with the scene that follows of the tribe at the end that didn’t even take up the entirety of the frame. Completely agree with you, I’m gonna be thinking about this ending for a really long time
