Killers of the Flower Moon
Frequently fantastic, bold, sweeping, and bloated. <PERSON> crafts a handsome and classical drama that explores a very real historical atrocity. The choice to focus on the perpetrators of the crimes is an intriguing one that mostly works, specifically in how it shows how one can lie to themselves to justify their horrific actions, and the corrupting power of greed. But it also means we miss out a lot of the point of view of the <PERSON>. 217
I understand that Scorcese may not be the best choice to tell that side, but while watching I felt like we were missing an integral part of the story. There's clearly an effort to be as respectful as possible, though, and I appreciate the conversations this film will spark. It's not just a one-and-done. It's dense as hell, and I'm glad I got to catch this in a cinema. 596
