Summary

Epic historical crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone. In 1920s Oklahoma, the discovery of oil on Osage land has made its inhabitants extremely wealthy - and attracted the unwelcome attention of greedy white interlopers. A series of murders sends shock waves through the community, prompting the arrival of an FBI agent to investigate.

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Patrick Cremona

Adapted from David Grann's non-fiction bestseller of the same name, Martin Scorsese's late-career opus tells of a chilling chapter in American history. It follows events as scores of Osage Native Americans are systematically murdered in 1920s Oklahoma, shortly after the discovery of oil on their tribal lands had made them extremely wealthy. Dealing primarily with the experiences of First World War veteran Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), his rancher uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro) and his Osage wife Mollie (Lily Gladstone), the film is unsparing in its depiction of the cold-blooded evil with which the conspiracy's orchestrators operated. At three-and-a-half hours, it's a true epic - a richly detailed film that tells its story with patience and precision, slowly unfolding until it reaches a crescendo that is more powerful for the sustained build-up. Gladstone is impeccable, while the pounding beat of Robbie Robertson's score lends the film a great urgency. Meanwhile, Scorsese's unorthodox choice of ending is a move of genius, giving the film an even greater power.
