On October 20th Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s new masterpiece will be released internationally. After being welcomed with a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, the first reviews let appear that the reception will be as enthusiastic in the theaters all around the world next week.
If the movie holds already 3 actors already winners of an Oscar – Brendan Fraser, Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert De Niro – it is Lily Gladstone who might very well be the favorite for an Oscar at the next ceremony, according to the journalists’ opinion and the praises of her colleagues. Indeed, Leonardo Dicaprio himself has steadily, since the film’s casting, complimented his acting partner.
After Certain Women where Gladstone plays alongside Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern, it is the second huge movie of her career in which she can prove her worth with cinema icons and an outstanding director.
Killers of the Flower Moon is the adaptation of David Grann’s eponymous novel, a historic tragedy which depicts the assassinations of a Native American tribe from Oklahoma, and the inquiry that follows. Between romance and violence, the characters make us quiver while showing us the true history of the Osage tribe’s murders.
A poignant and promising movie which is most likely going to get a multitude of nominations at the most known cinematographic awards ceremonies.
