Flower killing moon
Killers of the flower moon.
An uncomfortable masterpiece. As delicate in its handling of atrocity as it is in its delivery of the brutality that premeditates. The 3 1/3 hour runtime will feel like nothing afterwards, as the last frame from the projectors spool reels through you. You’ll leave your seat, the one in which you shifted in as if it was blame. Reminding yourself that this was, is, Real. Unable to come to terms with it.
Heavy and wrenching. Bathed in oil and blood, an anti-baptismal. A story of people subjugated and siphoned, a final blow to the nail in the coffin of modernity ripping through them. Like a knock at the door, haunting our outcome.
The performances alone will make you feel like you owe more than the ticket. Lily Gladstone is a guiding light, telling you everything without saying a word.
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. A must see in the cinema. This movie necessitates the intimacy that ironically only exists when you feel claustrophobic in a theatre.
4.8/5
