Killers of the Flower Moon, which I watched last night in a packed theater, brought me here. Lily Gladstone turned in a tremendous performance...Oscar-worthy in my humble opinion.

I can see all her ancestors represented through her. Destined for greatness for greatness is where she has been birthed from!

[@EmanBasketballDad]

Just saw Flower Moon. I absolutely love it and despite of running time of 3:26 hours, I can't wait to see it again. I'm happily married, but I've fallen for Lily Gladstone. You are the next big name in acting. Hope to meet you someday. ❤❤❤❤

[@devoncox1808]

Lily is a beautiful and extraordinary woman and actress. she did a wonderful job in Killers Off The Flower Moon.

[@MikhailTank]

Gladstone deserves the Oscar and to be among the top of the female leading actors. I hope she always retains her personal power and magic. She and Kathy Bates would make an amazing film together, very similar energy.

[@wasabiginger6993]

What a wonderful role model who is a natural leader so authentic … first heard her speak at CANNES Fest and wow, her presence & voice immediately captured my attention! She keeps letting go … and so whatever is meant to be hers comes back … YES

Dear Lily, i just saw ….”Flower Moon” You are spectacular! You are a great actress and should win every award! You are also a very beautiful woman. Your eyes say it all in Marty’s movie. You are a new Goddess…. A Native American Goddess. Thank you for the Star you reveal.

[@Danuta628]

Lily just eludes and personifies a lot of depth, range in her presence, her expressions. She carries her story and the weight of her indigenous tribes ancestry all in her being. There is so much presence just watching her speak, conveying articulating all that is, in the history of her people from existence. That is why she is so loved irrefutably.

I’m so glad Lilly has gotten her much -deserved recognition Because of her indigenous looks, her full-figure, took a while Indigenous peoples aka the only real Americans have had so much done to them, the few still alive, by whites I’m full-figure and talented people like Lilly who are proud of their beauty and don’t starve themselves to look horrible like so many Hollywood people do, are creating a new world of authenticity Thank you to Lilly also for supporting and creating indigenous films and artists 💚 She’s gorgeous as so many of the indigenous women and men are

[@michaelj7069]

She was absolutely amazing in Flower Moon. The depth in her performance was second to none.

[@ReedEzra]

Wonderful composition focused on the craft and inner workings of acting with a lovely portrait of this stunning actress. Indeed acting is the sublimation of self into unknown regions of others. Lily Gladstone is one of the very few that can embody a character and breathe life into it.

I’ve done work in Browning. Beautiful country❤

[@kallewirschin]

Such a beautiful woman - inside and outside - and an awwwmazing performer. Her calm and rooted personality impresses me the most and her wise words about how to give our mind a place in our body, where he can be, simply gave me goosebumps - don't know why I never heard a better description of this fact and responsibility... And it breaks my heart, to know how it feels, when it's not the right place and to look around and realize once more - most humans lost the connection to our own bodies, to others, to other creatures, to nature, to mother earth ... A deadly condition - obvious undeniable 💔

[@blaisetelfer8499]

She needs to win an Oscar for Killers of The Flower Moon, or the Oscars are more tainted than the Grammys

12:46 doggone it, i was thinking about this 2 days ago & had a perfectly worded comment... well here's the main of it though it's not as poetic as i originally conceived: we can see/recognize a woman of strong sense-of-self though it is internal, everything else is a prop, with some props more fashionable than others. #Barbie zinterminable heel -lift reminds me of the prop-nationhood of womanhood; everybody has props though particularly when we live mainly through a global public view

What is her tribal affiliation ?

Blackfoot

She's not an enrolled member but her dad is apparently mixed nez perce and blackfeet and her mum is full caucasian with British ancestry.

Man I just looked up her bio. PBS should be ashamed of themselves smh

​@@dakidfromknowhere7655 dollar Indian? What you mean by that?

​@hoz49 it means she is pretending to be a Native American, in real ife, not just on film.

[@cjjackson2475]

Excited for Lily, and the gifts she so freely shares with ALL people. Even though I am 35 years in on an industry I have great passion for, many times I wonder if it is time to walk away and turn the page. Maybe that is a truth more of us need to share and embrace. 💕❤️💕🕊️🌿🫶

Being taught and having the time to listen to your body is a necessity we haven't all had. I love that she's teaching those who didn't grow up like her to get in touch with their roots-and beyond. 😊
