Looking forward to this.


Killers of the Flower Moon is an upcoming American epic Western crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth, based on the best-selling 2017 non-fiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann.[4] Its plot centers on a series of Oklahoma murders in the Osage Nation during the 1920s, committed after oil was discovered on tribal land


Says Theatres October 2023, dont know how long after it will be on Apple Tv.

This seems to be getting five star reviews across the board. Consider me hyped.

(Although the beginning of that Telegraph seemed to allude to the Irishman being one of his best which I disagree with )
 
Looks like a really interesting film with a great ensemble cast, I'm definitely going to be watching this!

So early reviews based on the Cannes premier - a bit mixed so far from "Epic" to "Slow and Plodding"

3/5 - Slow and Plodding, more like a mini-series

Killers of the Flower Moon review: Scorsese's handsome Western is 'too slow'

Martin Scorsese's Western brings together Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, but the film promotes "mixed feelings" and is "slow and meandering", writes Nicholas Barber.

5/5 - Epic, an instant American Classic

Killers of the Flower Moon review — I love Scorsese but this is a dud

★★☆☆☆Sometimes it takes nerves of steel to be a film critic. That is particularly the case when a movie such as this new epic from Martin Scorsese comes present

5/5 - A masterpiece

Killers of the Flower Moon is another Martin Scorsese masterpiece – review

DiCaprio and De Niro are brilliant, but it is relative unknown Lily Gladstone who is truly extraordinary

Based on a true American Story. Killers of the Flower Moon, in theaters October.

At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, and Jillian Dion, Killers of the Flower Moon is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.

Hailing from Apple Studios, Killers of the Flower Moon was produced alongside Imperative Entertainment, Sikelia Productions and Appian Way. Producers are Scorsese, Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas and Daniel Lupi, with DiCaprio, Rick Yorn, Adam Somner, Marianne Bower, Lisa Frechette, John Atwood, Shea Kammer and Niels Juul serving as executive producers.
 
I find Scorsese's longer films a bit hit and miss. Some of them just seem long for the sake of being long, while not achieving a whole lot doing so. I'd much rather watch Goodfellas than Casino, and The Irishman was a slog to get through.
