Osage and other Native American viewers who spoke to The Times have reservations about 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' but say it's a step in the right direction.
From the moment it was announced as a major feature film, 'Killers of the Flower Moon' has sparked plenty of excitement — and anxiety. An adaptation of David Grann's nonfiction bestseller about the murder of Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma, by white settlers plotting to acquire the rich oil deposits under Osage land, was most highly anticipated because of the elite names attached — in particular director Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
But admittedly, I would prefer to see a $200 million movie from an Osage filmmaker telling this history, any day of the week.' But as 'Killers of the Flower Moon' enters its second week in theaters buoyed by rave reviews from critics and a strong $23-million opening weekend at the box office, the lion's share of responses from Indigenous viewers, including members of the Osage Nation, has been pointedly positive.
