“The three-and-a-half-hour running time is fully justified in a mounting tragedy that never loosens its grip — a sordid illustration of historic erasure with echoes in today’s bitterly divisive political game,” it reads The Hollywood Reporter Film review in Cannes.
“I understood when I heard what (the Osage) values are about love and respect and a love of the land – and I’m not talking about turning this into a political issue; I’m really talking about living on this planet – it refocused me every time I heard it,” Scorsese said at the festival.
The flower moon killers will receive a limited theatrical release in IMAX theaters on October 6, with a wide October 20 before global streaming on Apple TV+.
