Our take on Killers of the Flower Moon

Martin Scorsese's 2023 crime drama draws on real history: when oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma beneath Osage Nation land, sudden wealth arrives, and with it a wave of murders that picks off the Osage one by one, until the FBI intervenes to unravel who is behind them. Working in the register of history and true crime, Scorsese frames this as a story about greed, betrayal, and the machinery of dispossession rather than a conventional whodunit. Expect deliberate pacing and moral weight over easy thrills. It rewards viewers who want serious, historically grounded American cinema and are willing to sit with an unhurried, disquieting account of exploitation and complicity.
