Quentin Tarantino has said for years that he’ll make ten films and then retire because directors only make worse and worse films as they age. Somehow the old-timer Martin Scorsese is a rare exception to this general rule, of which Killers of the Flower Moon is further evidence.

Showcasing the lengths to which people will go to obtain money and power is certainly a central theme of Marty’s more iconic films, and here’s another for that list. Only this time it’s a significantly more subtle approach than the likes of Goodfellas, The Departed, or Wolf of Wall Street. Murder and death isn’t handled with style and flair set to a Rolling Stones soundtrack, but with deference and care and a cold objectivity because the victims aren’t gangsters, but members of the Osage Nation, bumped off one by one by white men looking to gain control of oil discovered on Osage tribal land. It’s hauntingly tragic, shockingly inhuman, and beautifully rendered.

Not so coincidentally, as Marty’s time on this Earth elongates, so too do the runtimes of his films, the last two being 3 and a half hours. I for one consider this a blessing from a master filmmaker with nothing left to prove. So if you have a problem with it, watch it on Apple TV+ so that every 20 minutes you can pause the movie to take your damn ADHD medication, sit back down, shut up, watch the movie and be thankful that Martin Scorsese still has plenty to give.
