“Killers of the Flower Moon” is a true Scorsese masterpiece, but SFGATE columnist Drew Magary couldn’t stop thinking of Leonardo DiCaprio’s fake teeth.
I went to a screening of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” a week ago and have thought about it a great deal ever since. I think about the bodies. I think about Scorsese’s camera exploring every square inch of the Osage Nation in the early 20th century: the mucky streets, packed houses, desolate jail cells. I think about Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart wheezing, “You’re next” to her husband while in a fit of delirium.

Ernest’s smile is not a fetching one; he looks more sarcastic than happy whenever he busts it out. And when Ernest is miserable — especially under direct questioning from the federal government — he purses his lips tight over his teeth, as if he’s trying to keep the ugliness from bursting out of him.
