Killers of the Flower Moon sees Martin Scorsese bringing together Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro for an epic true crime story.
since it kicked off its festival run a few weeks back, beginning its long, inevitable run towards some form of Oscar glory.so far. Some are saying it is Martin Scorsese's best movie in decades; it isn't, as it doesn't reach the heights of The Departed or The Wolf of Wall Street. Others are calling it Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance ever; it isn't, that title still belongs to either Once Upon A Time In Hollywood or Django Unchained.
However, this eventual investigation by the federal government doesn't kick off until over two hours into the movie's languorous three-and-a-half-hour runtime, and much like The Irishman, Scorsese is no longer in any rush to tell his stories, and Flower Moon's unique pace takes some getting used to. Much like the frog in the pot of water, you don't notice that the temperature has been turned up until its too late and everything is already boiling over.
So, no, Killers of the Flower Moon isn't the best movie of 2023, but it does feature some of the most memorable highlights of the year.Netflix adding"one of the best films of the 21st century"
