Critics Consensus

Enormous in runtime, theme, and achievement, Killers of the Flower Moon is a sobering appraisal of America's relationship with Indigenous peoples and yet another artistic zenith for Martin Scorsese and his collaborators.

Audience Says

Strong acting, gorgeous cinematography, and a powerful story keep Killers of the Flower Moon engrossing in spite of its slower pace and extreme length.

The Age (Australia)

Even if I want less of Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio as the conspirators and more of Lily Gladstone as the latter’s wife and victim, it’s impossible to deny Scorsese’s artistry. Even flawed, it’s an immense film.

Lily Gladstone provides the soulful counterweight to the amorality of those who see her and those like her less as humans than resources to be exploited and discarded when used up.

The Film Verdict

A haunting examination of entitlement and colonization, Scorsese’s exquisitely produced, powerfully acted look at American history hits hard – and then acknowledges the shortcomings of attempting to turn this level of tragedy into narrative entertainment.

This story of greed and betrayal is a fine film ruined by its inordinate length.

Rated: 2/5

Firstpost

Despite a runtime of 3 hours and 26 minutes, the screenplay is watertight as no time is wasted on unnecessary things, in fact, many crucial elements are added beautifully by Scorsese to make this narrative intricate.

Rated: 4/5

The film doesn’t drop the ball and plays out a well-thought-out retelling of history.

with Leo and DeNiro back together in a film, I would've hoped to enjoy it way more than I did. Slow and almost boring, unfortunately, imo. The acting is great, but the movie is just too drawn out.

Scorsese at the peak of his powers once again. It’s a long film but it never feels that way. A nice return to form after The Irishman.

Don’t be scared of the runtime. It feels faster by almost an hour due to the masterful direction of an all-time great Martin Scorsese and the compelling cast.
