Reservation Dogs' Devery Jacobs found Killers Of The Flower Moon “painful, grueling, unrelenting and unnecessarily graphic'
Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon is already getting major Oscar buzz, but the film’s quality and Scorsese’s stature doesn’t mean it’s above criticism. Some of the Osage crew members themselves offered thoughtful critiques, the most prominent being that while Scorsese is an undeniable storyteller, the tale would be better told by an Osage artist from an Osage perspective.
“I don’t feel that these very real people were shown honor or dignity in the horrific portrayal of their deaths,” she wrote of the historic tragedy perpetuated against the Osage depicted in KOTFM. “Contrarily, I believe that by showing more murdered Native women on screen, it normalizes the violence committed against us and further dehumanizes our people.” She added that seeing “the way that film nerds are celebrating and eating this shit up? It makes my stomach hurt.
