KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Movie Review | Scorsese | DiCaprio | De Niro

[@micheledobbs1724]

I worked on this movie! So proud to hear how people are loving it!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

That’s wonderful, what did you do?

[@micheledobbs1724]

@BreakfastAllDay scenic painter. The train station set...all the windows I made into old glass and the amber glass in the church. The general store was my set. The green tile fire place in hales I did those tiles . Aged all the cars to look dusty....and much much more....I actually got to paint deniros show gift which was a replica of his gun in the movie. I am so excited to see it with our paint and construction crew that worked on it this Saturday here in atlanta. We were in Oklahoma for 9 months. From what I have seen this production gave us all credit in credits at the end! Can't wait to see my name roll up a big screen!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks, Jonathan! Let us know what you think when you see it.

[@Gabrielcezar94]

Scorsese recently talked about how the slower, tension-packed style of Ari Aster's films, specially Midsommar and Beau is Afraid, was an influence in making this movie, so it makes sense when you describe the camera work here. Great review as always! Thanks! Can't wait to watch Killers...!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

That's interesting and makes sense, thanks!

[@collindysart6472]

Ari Aster is nothing compared to Scorsese. He makes empty dull A24 claptrap.

Great movie, great performances! The performances really carried me through the movie's runtime. Bob, Leo, and Lily did an amazing job. The story was so brutal, especially during the last half of the movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@Slade347]

I've seen just two movies in a theater this year, Across the Spider-Verse and Oppenheimer. Those were both great, and I'm hoping this one will make it 3 for 3 in that regard.

[@cyberpunk42]

The ending totally works! It's based on a real show that Lucky Stike sponsored. It's also both a summary and a meta commentary on native experiences being turned into entertainment. Powerful film.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

It was a strong choice!

[@Nomoredrama2000]

I just saw it yesterday and was completely captivated for the entire running time. A very moving and brilliant film. My two favorite films of the year are both historical dramas, which I think is a first for me. I usually tend to lean more into genre flicks, but this year I got Oppenheimer-ed and Flower Moon-ed.

[@angelrojo6466]

I feel like the days of a handful of directors (Tarantino, Scorsese, Spielberg etc.) dominating the film scene is obsolete. And the same actors like DiCaprio, Hanks, Pitt, getting paid millions to keep churning out films every year is utterly ridiculous. We need more diverse stories and voices. Young voices!! - not the same old tired faces and stories.

Based on being a true story and Martin Scorsese’s reputation as a director who doesn’t care about fame or fortune, I had “Flower Moon” flagged as must see in the last quarter of 2023. I saw it today, and admired its extravagant recreation of a different time and place, Robert De Niro being Robert De Niro, and a very perceptive inclusion of Native Americans and their plight. However, Flower Moon is mostly a movie about wretched people doing wretched things (murder, murder, murder), was relentlessly evil, and was so interminable that I walked out after three hours and ten minutes because I was tired of being on the verge of throwing up. (I looked up the run time when I got home and saw that I missed “only” the last twenty minutes, but I don’t regret walking out. The small army of character actors in Flower Moon was fun to watch, but Leonardo Dicaprio had a comical frown plastered on his middle-aged face for 95% of his time on screen. Flower Moon is an old-fashioned “Major Motion Picture” that tries hard, but again, I fled when I had had enough.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Well that's too bad that you got so far and then missed then ending.

[@californiumblog]

I can't wait for Friday when I can see it!

[@jja8750]

Great review. I really enjoyed and admired my theater experience. Exquisite crafts from top to bottom. Wonderful performances from all; I was particularly taken with the actress who played Mollie's older sister, Anna. Everyone was giving authentic, lived-in performances. DiCaprio, excellent, as always. DeNiro, chilling. Lily Gladstone ... my goodness. As you said, what an empathetic performance. I was transfixed to her the entire time and, my anxiety was elevated constantly that something else was going to happen to her and her family. She made me feel so completely HORRIBLE about what was going on to her and her folks and people. My gosh. Can't wait to watch it again. I have minor nitpicks here & there. For instance, I wasn't AS seeped into the story for the middle hour as much as I was riveted to the 1st hour, or on egg shells for the 3rd hour. But overall, high quality cinema.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thank you so much for your review! It really is an incredible cast.

[@dthill96]

Saw it yesterday and I give it a 4.5/5. I’m native (Choctaw) so I feel like I kind of had to see it. I’m reading the 📕 currently and I think Scorsese did this story justice. Every cent of the $200 million budget is put on screen (of course $30 million of that went to DiCaprio) in a truly epic fashion. Lily Gladstone is AMAZING. DeNiro has charisma in the most evil form. DiCaprio plays arguably the dumbest character in his entire career. In regards to the runtime it was earned, it didn’t feel like 3.5 hours but I think “The Irishman” paced a lil faster (maybe that’s due to it being a story spanning 50 years and stuff in that happens in a more entertaining fashion whereas in this you’re just getting sucker punched). Rightfully so it angers you and I can see certain people (especially natives and Osage members) having to step out of the theater just to breathe. The violence in here doesn’t feel gratuitous it’s brutal in the most truthful way (this is a story never in any history books and you as the audience need to see what’s happened to these people). I’m glad I saw this on the big screen because there just is an intimacy in watching this on a big screen, having your phone off and your attention is entirely focused on what’s on the big screen. Which is why I hate that some people (my mother doesn’t wanna see it because of just the subject and if she does watch it it’ll most likely be at home) are gonna be watching at home but are gonna pause, browse on their 📱, not have their full attention on it.

[@johnnolan5579]

Hopefully this will be a a theatrical success and we can look forward to more epic-scale films of interest and even smaller-scale films of interest, rather than bad horror films and overblown (and too expensive) superhero cliches.

[@Stefarooh]

I am so glad this is coming to Apple TV because I just don't do theatres anymore. I just find other people just end up ruining my experience with their constant nattering or munching of popcorn or checking of their cell phones , plus for me personally - 1.5 hours is a long time to sit in a theatre (I need to move around) so there is no ways I would last 3.5 hours. Can't wait for it though. I will probably split it into two viewing sessions when it hits Apple TV. I read the book and the book was excellent although from what I see they have shifted the perspective away from the FBI.

[@JLamstudio]

Finally streamed it last night. Good movie. DiCaprio did great. Running time wasn’t a problem. Thelma is one hell of an editor. If anything it could have been even longer! The ending was rushed!!! I would have loved to see a miniseries on this story. Some people complained about the length, asked if the movie needed to be 3 .5 hours. I think it did. I think a better question is, do I need to see this in the theaters??? And no, I didn’t! 😂 Make a series on the Osage and I’ll watch MORE!

I was waiting for this, I’m trying not to watch much from the movie until I can see it in theaters and your thoughts are appreciated, I would suggest you guys improve the video on your reviews a bit in the future, it’s perfectly fine but there was a bit more quality, there is a lot of trickery than can be done with iPhones these day to look pretty cinematic, maybe the high production value of what the flick spoiled me

Thanks for your kind suggestion. We've upgraded to 1080p through Riverside and Alonso was recording from a hotel room while he's traveling. It's just the two of us doing the best we can from our dining room tables. With WTF we had a whole studio and a crew.

As for the unusual ending, I cheered it from the moment it started - surprising, yet brilliant.

[@dkarras]

Saw it today. Understated is the perfect description, languid even. That’s not meant to be read as a negative, just preparation for what ppl are in for. It is the most UN-Hollywood movie I’ve seen on a long time. But yeah overall completely agree w/ the vibe of this review. As it went on though and events started drawing to their conclusions, I couldn’t help but think that for how long it is, I could have used more of the relationship between Earnest & Molly & what endeared him to her. Maybe it is intentionally the way it is and there’s a point to be understood, if so I didn’t pick up on it this viewing. 🤷‍♂️

Just saw this finally & it was just amazing. It's an absolute tragedy that people aren't seeing this at a theatre.

[@juanitajones6900]

I saw it 2 days ago. Two thumbs up.

[@qp4367]

Honestly, the more I hear and learn of the Osage and their story, the more compelled I am to read the novel beforehand. Coincidently, did the exact same when Shutter Island came out, and was utterly satisfied with the literary skill and tact of the story telling and ultimate reveal and payoff of the plot; felt equally entertained with Scorsese's visual adaptation, nothing lost whatsover....given how much the element of surprise plays a part in that story, line a true testament to an American cinematic icons mastery of his medium! With that being said, a part of me aches, that save for the fateful Stack Edwards, and or the liberal use of the nword throughout his work, Mr. Scorsese has never identified with or felt particularly inspired or attracted enough by any African American historical contribution to want to bring anything of substance to life as only he could.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

You'll have to let us know how the book is by comparison.

[@danpeters00]

LOTS of Goodfellas parallels to be sure - in style and substance....I'll need to see it again to confirm but there's a scene where Henry Roan (Molly's first husband) comes to a dinner party where DiCaprio just announced Molly is pregnant, and Roan shakes her hand and then DiCaprio's - and the angle of the shot + DiCaprio's dismissive half-gesture over the shoulder handshake seemed identical to Ray Liotta shaking that guy Bruce's hand (guy who lives across the street from Karen) at the marina club in Goodfellas....Which would make sense narratively as in both cases the males' egos were threatened by the other male...I noticed it immediately, wonder if anyone else did...You see these movies often enough and these things just pop I guess!

Seems like everybody loved this movie except for me. I gave it two out of 5 stars and I have a whole list of things I didn't like about it, but I hope I start seeing some negative reviews so I don't spend the rest of the year feeling like the only asshole in America lol

Sorry it didn't work for you!

What’s the word or phrase Alonzo uses at 2:39? It’s in this sentence: “These are not necessarily the most competent criminals in the world, and so there’s a bit of _______ job going on here … .” Thanks in advance!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Oh, the Lufthansa heist, it’s a Goodfellas reference. Thanks for watching!

Comparing this to the masterpiece that is Heaven's Gate sets the bar of expectation very high.

I wish Quentin would hire an editor like Thelma Schoonmaker!

He had one. Sally Menke. Unfortunately, she passed away while Django was in preproduction.

I read Leo passed on the Jesse Plemmon's part, and chose the character he's actually playing. Not sure how reliable that is, did anyone else read that too, or did I get got by a bullshit articles 😂. 😢Film looks/sounds great, I'm going to see it with my mom on her bday in IMAX. She (like perpetually everyone) adores Scorcese. I hope it makes a billion dollars.

Is no one going to mention the gurning cameo from Brendan Frazer. Chewed the scenery so hard he left bite marks.

We were trying not to spoil.

Im not American, but just watched the film. I find the film very white-centric, and I'm tired of films abt POC being led by the perspective of white men and women. It's becoming a trope now. They always make the white lead character 'complex' and humanise their evil-ness (even when they shouldn't). It's annoying. I wish it was from the perspective of Mollie, in the film it said she is stubborn & head strong but the way she carried herself, they just simply made her looked dumb and with no agency. There is no context why she behaved the way she did. I wish they would explore her character more, let us understand her motivation and inner conflict. Give her some agency.

It's based off a book by a white author, and this is directed by a white guy. The Indians can grab a camera and make a movie if they want.

[@coffeemug3009]

@@EddieHenderson92 well at least the white author wrote it from the perspective of FBI, which I find it very interesting. I just don't find it interesting when you humanise villains and make the Osage people as one dimensional with no agency.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. Am I the only one who thought some of the editing was confusing in the 2nd half? Especially one short scene where a man is driving a car and starts bleeding from under his hat. I was like - what the heck just happened?!? And all of the different character names got confusing too.
