Buckle up because I’m back to milk my film minor. The slow march into awards season is really more of a sprint at this point, and though awards seasons of yore may be remembered by on-stage slaps, this season will be marked by the incredible movies given to us by the cinema gods.

The most anticipated movies of the season proved to be worth every penny: Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, and the subject of the next 500 words, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. To the joy of anyone with an Apple TV+ account, all three hours of Killers of the Flower Moon can now be seen from the comfort of your couch.

Martin Scorsese’s new film is an adaptation of the 2017 book of the same name, which digs into a sordid corner of American history. But, let's face it, most corners of American history are sordid. Killers of the Flower Moon follows the murders of members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma after valuable oil was found on their tribal land. The Osage murders mark one of the very first homicide investigations completed by the newly-formed FBI.
The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio in what critics are calling a career-high performance and newcomer Lily Gladstone, who is already leading the charge towards a Best Actress win. Oh, and it *also* stars Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, John Lithgow, and Brendan Fraser.
P.S. This writer and every insufferable man you may have been on a date with will remind you that Killers of the Flower Moon marks the tenth collaboration between Scorsese and De Niro *and* the sixth between Scorsese and DiCaprio.
