Killers of the Flower Moon captivates for every minute of its long runtime. The storytelling is superb, the performances are outstanding, and the cinematography is gorgeous. Fraser is the films only weakness.

That time when John Ford met Kurosawa.

beautiful. dreadful. tear dropping. and i'm more in love with lily gladstone than i was before.

p.s. don't invite the white devil in your house!!

Am I the only one that didn't feel the runtime? I'm not joking when I say it felt like a normal-length movie once it had finished - all thanks to how riveting every second was I guess. But I also just cannot imagine any of this cut out.
I would say this is a perfect film, and Scorsese is just too much of a veteran at this point - this man is undoubtedly one of the greatest directors in all of cinema.

Loved how subdued everything was played in this one, so much so that you forget how dark it is at some points. It's subtly complex in pure Scorsese fashion but tells the seemingly well-researched tale of a brutally simple true story about 1920's greed. It even feels like so many of Scorsese's gangster films turned completely on its head. I love how Marty's films have aged and matured along with him.

I don't stand a chance of articulating how this movie made me feel, but I ran the gamut of emotions watching this unfold before me. Wonderment, unease, angst, anger, disgust, disbelief, sadness, despondency, anger again. It's unfathomable that this even happened, let alone how little it's known about by the wider masses. An important movie that is beautifully composed; it's just a shame the subject matter is so ugly and disheartening. I must rally against the negativity surrounding the runtime. I'm usually the first to call out a movie for crossing the 120-minute barrier, but Scorsese's ability to weave such a succinct story makes this one roll by so spritely, I barely realised the time going. I'll probably never watch this again but I’m glad I saw it through, it really is a masterful piece of cinema that proves Scorsese is more than just a name; he’s still a master of the craft, and I hope he’s still got many more projects left in him before he folds up the chair for the last time.

If you stay to the end, you'll understand this comment. It needed to start with the way it finished, and it would've been a 10. I'm saying 9.5 but can only give it a 9.

The main issue is unless something is wrong with you, like you're a total racist sh1tbag, you're going to walk away from the movie feeling disgusted on so many levels. I felt like we, as in Americans, have so much to atone for, and even more disgusted by half of a "white America" that all thinks sweeping this kind of garbage under the rug is the way to handle it. This garbage happened because "white America" never wants to take responsibility for the hate we have allowed.

The film is spectacular in the settings chosen, but also loved how Scorsese invoked that Orson Wells camera views to illustrate some of the later scenes better. Very Citizen Kane-esque. Just fantastic cast, acting, directing, costumes.

But WARNING. you will have a feeling of filth of what these men did. The raping of these people's wealth is just one of many disgusting parts of American history that we can only atone for by acknowledging it happened and never allowing it to happen again.

A devastating tale of greed, violence, betrayal and cultural clash set during the Black Gold fever in the 1900s. Chilling performances by DeNiro and Gladstone with DiCaprio playing the biggest and hopeless fool in history. Scorsese combines the best elements of his previous work into a 3 and a half hour dark odyssey where tragedy awaits at every turn. Some might argue that the running time is too much, but every nasty bit of it has a way to work in the overall story.
