Osage person here! When y'all see this movie, know that this is a only a chapter in our history. We do not live as victims today, though the effects of the Reign of Terror are still present. We are a proud, resilient people and our tribe is a strong nation. This story needs to be told, but just know that there's so much more to us than just this :)

The way Jeremy was praising it and the fact he chose to not go to the bathroom incase he missed something, I was expecting an Awesometacular rating.

this could be Scorsese's and Robert De Niro's last film, watching legends like this clock in 100% at their age is incredible. I really pray they make one more film for us before they depart or retire.

It is insane that here in 2023, the high budget/ sequel/ franchises/ superhero genre are the ones losing money while stand-alone films like Barbie, Oppenheimer and now, Killers of the Flower Moon are well received and a breath of fresh air! I really hope this film does well in the box office. Definitely watching this in theatres!

This is also my first Martin Scorcese film in the theater experience.... but for a fairly unique reason.... 30 years ago my mother-in-law let a woman she met live at her house for a short period of time. This woman told my wife stories of living on the Osage reservation as a child.... my wife would tell me these stories when we were first dating, and I thought 1) why would her mother allow a perfect stranger to live in her house, and 2) this woman must be a nut job because these stories were so horrifying and unbelievable. This woman's name was Elizabeth Burkhart Ware, and was the daughter of Earnest and Mollie Burkhart, the 2 main characters in this movie. My wife would tell me how Elizabeth was frustrated that this period of history was basically swept under the rug and never got the attention it deserved. So, I will be seeing it in the theater and wishing she could have been alive today to see that this tragic story is finally getting the attention that it deserves.

Intermissions should be a thing again.

This is going to be the first Martin Scorsese film that I’m going to see in theaters. I can’t wait.

Interviewed Lily once and she is wonderful! So down-to-earth, intelligent, and talented; just a remarkable individual! I highly recommend watching her performance in Certain Women as well as another recent movie of hers called Unknown Country. For those who go to film festivals, keep an eye out for the short film The Handsome Man. She and Evan Adams from Smoke Signals are in it

You don’t get some answers because this book was written based on what the investigative journalism and historical documentation pieced together. The book was amazing and can’t wait to see the movie!

As a diabetic, crazy to see the transformation of where we were with the technology of treating diabetes on film. How much of a hassle it was, and how it slowly kills you if you don’t get your insulin.

Scorsese is a master at putting a million shots in his movies and not wasting a single second of film. Goodfellas, Casino, and The Departed are great examples of this. Watch how often the camera cuts, and how many times there are scenes less than 30 seconds long, but it never feeling like a single frame is out of place. Like a car moving too fast to jump from.

What a time we're living in. To see a Scorcese picture with both Leo and De Niro. I'm so happy

For anybody wondering, the book is equally fantastic and what I consider to be a must-read.

I've only watched one other review, but as someone who read and loved the book, I must say that you understand the story and have articulated that understanding most satisfactorily

So excited to see this movie, we're in for a rough end of the year, but i'm hoping Scorsese can pull us through. Huge fan of both Deniro and Leo. This movie is gonna absolutely blow the ratings off the charts.

I just watched an advanced screening and it was a tough watch. It showed a lot of the gritty moments of history that aren't really discussed and it was brutal, exhausting, and frustrating- which makes complete sense due to the subject matter. I'm glad this movie gave space to showcase Indigenous actors and real issues that our people had to face to get where we are. I really hope this continues to shed light to more mainstream audiences :)

I just watched it and I agree. The pacing is great. It never flags or drags. It’s also beautifully photographed and gives you a feel for the Osage Hills where I grew up. It also helps you get into the Osage culture, not just the Anglo culture. DiCaprio and Gladstone show you both the romance building and then eroding under the pressure of deaths and suspicion. That makes it believable how Burkheart could betray his wife but then agree to be the key witness against his uncle. The actual investigative details get a rush treatment, but it works for this movie. It’s far more realistic than how this material was presented in The FBI Story.

Hearing you say osage nation being a member of the tribe myself has truly made my night love your videos jeremy always have my support!

I seen this movie last night, the entire production, cast and setting had me at fucking’awe, the way the story progressed just kept filling me with dread, and De Niro, my god I have never hated such a character ever since Joffrey, with that being said De Niro did outstanding, and let’s not forget Gladstone, not only was she gorgeous but her chemistry with DiCaprio always made it seem like the camera was never there and made the different scenes genuine, but when it came time for her to show her true potential she was a powerhouse, and last but not least Leo DiCaprio; his performance was so well you couldn’t help but to feel bad for him[his character], but in the end his performance was so outstanding the moments of raw emotion were not only chilling but spectacular, this movie imho delivered and kept true to its word, I’m glad Oppenheimer, The Creator and Killers of the flower Moon are all iMAX

This movie was such a hard watch. I really felt my stomach turn seeing leo & Rob scene by scene. Really disturbing & disgusting. A story that definitely needed to be told. Never felt bored & was hooked throughout. Fire movie

You know it’s good when Jeremy didn’t use the bathroom when he needed to

I loved the film. It’s great that we have these titanic big budget drama films in killers of the flower moon and Oppenheimer. Also agree that it should be a mini series

I was born and raised in Tulsa, went to Tulsa Public Schools and sadly I had never heard this story until this book came out.

So happy de Niro us getting better roles again unlike all those bad comedies of late

I highly recommend reading the book this film is based on (same name). I've just finished it in time for the movie release and I feel like it gives me a necessary context dump. (I'm from Wales - American history is not something I'm well versed in. But I am fascinated by it)

Awesometacular. Nothing less. I think the ending was a brilliantly artistic way of saying how history can very easily be trivialized and not be considered that important. But it still is.

DiCaprio/De Niro/Scorsese finally team up. Not to mention the rest who are invovled with this film. Some amazing talent united.

I ran into some of the crew for this film at a hotel in NY, including the editor Scorcese works with on most of his projects. All great and talented people who helped to bring attention to an important story more people should know about.

Seeing this Thursday night. Can't wait to witness another great film from one our masters of filmmaking in Martin Scorsese.

As a member of the Osage Nation, this movie is a triumph

They filmed a whole lot of this movie in my town. Did some of the catering for the crew. Was a great time. Can’t wait to see it and see some of my buds as extras in the background.

So glad you were also confused about that ending, because I left the theater like, "Damn did I miss something?" Because they made a point of showing him putting half the vial in his own drink then being fucked up the next day. So like.. he knew right? But if he knew, why lie at the end?? And if he didn't know, HOW did he not know?? But also his character is dumb af, so I can't be THAT surprised he may not have known, but like... uuuuugh. Until that moment, I truly felt that their love for each other was actually real, which made everything super sad, now I gotta question everything smh. Most movies I usually forget by the next day but here I am 3 days later still stewing over it lmaooo

Just saw it a little while ago, premiere night at my local theater. Extremely few people there, possibly less 10. I thought the film was brilliant, there are several standout moments from this 3 and a half hour long monster. Scorsese did it again. He made another brilliant film that made me upset, laugh, even cry at one point during a certain scene with fire, glazed over eyes, tainted whiskey and a simple line of “You’re next.” There were also several moments where I was completely on edge. Many of those times were when Ernest and Molly were all alone. You can feel the tension and anxiety, how uncomfortable and afraid Molly is. I got minor nitpicks but they’re incredibly minor. I’d give it a 9/10 and it’s gonna be in my top films of this year. GREAT VIDEO JEREMY!

I've never seen a Martin Scorsese movie in a theater before. So Killers of the Flower Moon will be my first time seeing it in theater so I'm super excited and pumped to see what this movie is going to offer even when the runtime is 206 minutes, I'm so ready. Fingers cross this movie will be nominated for a lot of awards especially that Scorsese himself has been long overdue for a second Oscar win. It's amazing to see these type of movies being played in theaters, it deserves a lot of support

"if you so love and trust someone or something this much, you'll want to look past the truth which is killing you". I needed that. Thanks, Jeremy!

Martin Scorsese: *Makes a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro* Paramount and Apple TV : "Take our money now"

I’m so ready for this.

The last hour of this movie is exhilarating. Pacing is truly amazing

You can’t go wrong with Scorsese and De Niro. He basically played the same character from goodfellas 😂 but it was still amazing. But Ms. Gladstone! I’m in awe at her performance, she deserves every award she gets from this. Phenomenal movie

This movie’s story was excellent and so were the performances..but I do think it was way longer than it needed to be

This man is my favorite reviewer. He just always is able to talk about a movie in a way that doesn't spoil it but gives me an idea of the movies plot & whether it's good or not while never caring what people think of his opinion! Keep it up Jeremy, been watching for years and will be for more!! Jeremy > Stuckman(any day)

Excited to see this! Also excited to see how Brendan Fraser is in this, as well!

Seeing it here in Australia tomorrow morning, can’t wait!

Can’t wait to see this movie 🍿 I love true stories.

I absolutely loved the movie, My only regret is I wish it had been just a little bit more on the "fun" and "entertaining" side like The Departed or Wolf of Wall Street were, just a tiny bit. This was great but felt a bit like a 3 hours long documentary. But still 4.5/5 for me.

I’m Native American, I’m from the Absentee Shawnee Tribe. Nothing about the Osage killings was never taught in US history class when I was in high school or Oklahoma history. I went to high school from 2006-2010. The only way I found out about the Osage killings, channel 9 news, did a 10 minute story on the 10 o’clock news about the Osage killings that happen in the 1920s and 30s

Great review bro. I hope that review goes on the blue ray.

Hi Jeremy! You made an interesting point about the Oscars and being nominated or not… Just wondering if anyone else feels like that award is no longer relevant to the quality of all parties involved in film? Maybe we don’t have to judge any aspect of a film in comparison to a possible award. Jeremy Jahns has been a dedicated reviewer for many years now and I believe he’s one of the best for giving us a perspective that most of us feel we understand and agree with…like he seems to experience most films like I do and many others… if he says it’s good.. I trust him. If he says it’s crap.. I believe him. I stopped trusting and believing the oscars many years ago.

My parents are huge Scorsese fans. I was too young to be taken to theater to see Goodfellas or Casino. The first one I saw in theaters was Bringing Out the Dead. That film is a great companion piece to After Hours. I was actually living in Italy when Gangs of New York was released. I remember watching the film in theater with headphones on to hear the original English soundtrack, because the theater was using its speakers to showcase the Italian dubbed version. Everything since The Departed has been in the US. I'm a little disappointed Silence didn't do so well in theaters. That film has many layers to it worth talking about. Goodfellas is still the film I always go back to every year, though. As someone who is an American of Irish/Italian descent, that film speaks to me in a very tangible way.

Great review ! Only thing I never felt like this was a love story. The power dynamic of the couple was never felt equal

The book this is based on is fantastic, I am so looking forward to this. It's not only the true story of the murders of the Osage people but also the birth of the FBI with Tom White (Jesse Plemons) going to investigate the murders by Hoover.

After watching all these reviews I feel weird that I did not enjoy it. I appreciate the story and message but just can't lie to myself and say I liked it. This is someone who went into it wanting to love it. It was just so slow and when it got to the point with about an hour left. I knew what was coming and it just couldn't come soon enough. Does this mean I have bad taste in movies? Maybe. But me and the 3 people I went with felt like we had wasted 3 and a half hours. Once again good story bad movie.

Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro has known Leo since he was a young teenager, he must feel very blessed to be nearly 50 years old and for his predecessors to still be alive and not retired. And they still want to work with him 30 years later. 🤯

Jeremy still hands out the best reviews. No unnecessary filler or BS and while I may not always agree with him, I feel as if these are his unbridled opinions.

MORE REVIEWSSSS I DONT WANT YOU SLEEPING I WANT YOU GRINDINGGGG

The terrifying part is that these acts were easier to do because they were deemed okay and there were little arguments against them. I like how Martin Scorsese incorporates language and culture of the Osage nation. He said that the original idea was based mostly on the detective investigating the murders, it was scrapped because it did not feel right. I agree because it would not be idle to portray the struggles of the Osage nation by ignoring their identity and using the perspective of the colonisers the movie is criticising.

I think he knew the bottle had bad stuff in it, and his wife knew he knew it was poison but he still choose to lie about it, that was the moment she decided to leave him. I think Leonardo’s character did love her but was a weak human, his uncle induces fear into his nephew that’s why he poisons her even though he loves her.

Can’t wait to see it. Thankfully, the theater where I go has a break in the middle

I’d be curious of Jeremy’s opinions and possibly rankings of Martin Scorsese’s older films. Especially ; Taxi Driver, Bringing Out the Dead, and Good Fellas.

The audiobook for this novel is amazing

Ernest never loved Molly, The film can paint it any color it wants to, but he didn’t love her. It was a con.

The last Scorsese movie I saw at a cinema was Wolf of Wall Street, and since he made that "theme park ride" comment about superhero movies, I went into Killers of the Flower Moon expecting Scorsese to make a point. Like, come on, master, show us real cinema. And then he did. It's a lot, it's art, it's daring, and it's cinema. I do wish the movie has a built in popcorn break, like in the old days. My bladder was close to bursting, but same as Jahns, I didn't want to leave my seat midway through.

Yeeeeeahhhh I’ll def be waiting for this to stream. No way in heck I’m sitting for damn near 4 hrs with no intermission. These guys are really starting to ask the most of us now

You know what one of my favorite movies with Robert DeNiro is? The Assistant (with Anne Hathaway) , Robert *Shines like a Diamond* 💎 in that film 🥰

Simply blown away by this one. Stunning, sickening film. While I was more entertained by Oppenheimer, I'd argue this is the better film on a quality level. Scorsese has seemingly unending energy to keep making films, bless him, but this would very much work as his swan song.

I LOVED The Prestige reference!! Well played.

Great review Jeremy

Leo has always been a great actor

*"Killing is subjective."* -Bilbo Baggins

You're My Favorite movie reviewer. I love the red background.

I didn’t expect Lithgow and Brendan Fraser to show up in this movie.

This movie managed to keep me engaged all the way through its crazy. The humor in this movie was fantastic despite it being such a dark film in terms of presence. Edit: one of the few 3hr+ films that didn’t feel as such.

The real story is wild. I'd highly recommend the book or the Infamous America podcast covering it.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jeremy😘

De Niro was the standout to me too. He had no remorse for anything going on and ruined countless lives to get his way.

I thought this was a pretty good movie, I’m not like a massive history buff or anything but this movie looked interesting to me, and I had a mostly good time with it, the best thing about it is without a doubt the relationship between Leonardo DiCaprio and Lilly Gladstone, their relationship is spectacular, at the beginning of the movie when these 2 first meet their chemistry together is just so sweet and so adorable and I was just glued to my seat watching these 2, later on in the movie their relationship starts to change and even though I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as I did for the first half of the movie I still thought it was really good stuff, Robert De Niro was really good too, he did a good job at playing a good antagonist where you know what he’s doing is bad but he doesn’t give a performance where he just seems like a one dimensional asshole, the movie also has some pretty gruesome scenes throughout, much like a war film it really succeeds in capturing the brutality and harshness of the event at hand, there’s also this major plot point revolving around one of the characters that gets introduced in the 3rd act that I thought was really emotionally gut punching, because considering how I felt about it beforehand it just broke my heart to see it turn out like this, and lastly for being a 3 and a half hour movie I didn’t really feel the length that much, it felt more like a 2 and a half hour movie to me, I would say the movie’s biggest weakness is that I feel like the 3rd act especially gets a little too convoluted, near the end of the second act the movie starts taking all these drastic twists and turns to the point where I felt like I was just barely hanging on to grasping what’s going on, definitely not as enjoyable as that first hour that’s for sure, this is a movie where the relationship between the 2 leads is really the glue that held this movie together for me and made me see it in a positive light, so as a whole I had a pretty good time with it, I’d be lying if I said that I thought this was one of the best movies of the year like a lot of other people are saying but I think it’s decent, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lilly Gladstone are incredible together, the movie is very effective at showing the harshness of these events and while it may not be one of the best movies of the year for me like it is for most other people I still liked it. 6/10

3 and a half hrs?? Take my money! It'll be worth the 1,000 dollars I spend on a movie date with my gf. I'm also native American so I'm looking forward to this.

That cameo at the end though

That Hugh Jackman impression was spot on. Had to replay that! 😂

I was so hyped for this movie and after just returning from seeing it, I'm checking out the reviews. I'm noticing a common theme amongst the reviewers, especially with the 3 hrs and 30 min runtime, and I'm curious what others think when they see it. Unfortunately the movie heavily drags on. The acting performances, for the most part, were very good. I love Jesse Plemons, but he was just kind of there in the film, not much engagement. There's a huge lack of engagement with the characters, especially with the ones who were "lost" and I think that, along with the wildly long runtime, overshadowed the sadness and brutality of what happened to the Osage Tribe. The feeling I walked away with was nearly identical to The Irishmen - it just fell flat for me. I'd still give it a 6.5 maybe almost a 7. Let me take a sec to mention that the book is phenomenal and I recommend it highly, even if one is not into reading historical non-fiction. It is a *very* good book! The movie, sadly, was meh for me. I'll watch it again down the road and perhaps I'll feel differently on second watch. Spending 4 hours in a theater with a film that is slow, is rough. And so much, so much, was either left out or glossed over.

This film and Napoleon are what I'm really looking forward to!!💯💯💯 Oscar's, take notice... Oppenheimer, killers of the Flower moon and Napoleon... nominate them for everything!!!

I was waiting for your review on this one... now i know i need to watch this.

This is the pitfall of long movies...when you can't recall the names of ancillary characters introduced earlier in the film or more so, details about the plot that didn't make sense to you that are never fully explained. You did a great job on this review! Thanks from this subscriber.

I'm actually very surprised that the marketing of this film already shows DeNiro and DiCarpio's characters as the villains. It's actually a shocking revelation at the end of the book.

I actually played a few background extras in this. And while I’ll say the experience wasn’t fun per say, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity I won’t forget.

Love the obscure Prestige reference! An inside joke between me and my sister. "You don't know? You don't know?! How could he not know?"

Great review Bubba- I love historical epics but have been burned so much I was on the fence until now. God bless all the works of your hands my friend!!

Ooooh I'm going to have to buckle in for this one.

Spoilers-- - - - - The scene where the FBI agents meet up in the night and you find out that they're the insurance guy and the Native that gets in with the Osage for the investigation was absolutely brilliant. So epic how they sent in the agents under cover then you see them all group up to share their leads and info, then they go all in to get Hale

Finally a real movie. I'll be going to the cinema for this

Damn after all that , i was expecting him to give it a awesometacular. I guess Oppenheimer still holds that spot this year

We need to bring back intermissions for movie theaters, it's getting ridiculous that we still don't have those.

Jeremy is the only movie reviewer I watch. I see a new movie is out, what did Jeramy think about it. True story. Don’t stop, J.

Nice to see quality movies are still being made. Might have to go see it just to support such things.

This was Martin Scorsese’s most devastating movie.

How the FUCK did this not get AWESOMETACULAR??????

I knew jeremy was going to see this instead of the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour Concert Film because let's honest can you imagine Jeremy sitting in a Movie Theater with a bunch of Engentic Swifties who are not displaying theater etiquette? Not Really

Yep its going to be Nolan vs scorsese this Oscar season😅

I watched it last night and it was a very well done movie! Educational, emotional, and dense! Probably the best movie of the year!

You know it’s an effective and affecting movie when JJ isn't talking at blistering speed in the review.
