- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: It pulls the curtain back to reveal the wolves walking amongst us. “Where did they come from?” you might ask. They’ve always been here.
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Killers of the Flower Moon is the best film I have seen so far this year.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Killers of the Flower Moons doesn’t show Martin Scorsese slowing down to give us an unsettling look at how greed twists our minds in America’s darkest times tipped with three commanding performances (DiCaprio, De Niro & Gladstone), making up for its rather challenging runtime.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: love story set amidst a series of murders revealing how indigenous people have been victims of the shadow side of American society — racism and white supremacy.
- [New] | Samuel Castro @ El Colombiano [Spanish]
- Excerpt: No es casualidad que la película comience y termine con danzas y cantos rituales, porque lo que nos ofrece el guion de Eric Roth y del mismo Martin Scorsese es en realidad una ceremonia
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: it is in witnessing those murders – abrupt, violent and brutal – …that we most recognize Scorsese’s auteurship here, his lengthy period film often feeling more like binging a prestige HBO limited series.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A pessimistic portrayal of American greed and violence that held my attention from beginning to end.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A great American filmmaker on a memory-holed chapter of American history at the intersection of colonialism and toxic masculinity. Massive, epic, and essential. Scorches the earth of our complacency.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Killers of the Flower Moon is an emotionally riveting and captivating film that explores one of the many dark atrocities committed against Native Americans. This story should be studied for years to come.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: The film takes its time, over 3 1/2 hours, but every minute is earned. This is a rare film that is not just excellent, but important.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Scorsese understands he can’t truly tell [the Osage’s] story as a white man in a way that gives them the voice they deserve. So, he tells the tale of their oppressors instead. And he does so with zero sympathy for even their most sympathetic members.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Martin Scorsese’s 208-minute epic about murderous greed in early 20th Century Oklahoma, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, is a continuation of his crime epics, this time framing the story against the obliteration of the native Osage population. It’s ultimately a mixed bag of effective but indulgent storytelling, compelling but questionable characterization, and a framing device that begs sympathy for the film’s eponymous villains.

- Scott Phillips @ Forbes.com
- Serena Seghedoni @ Loud and Clear Reviews
- Excerpt: a potent, stunning epic, elevated by a superb screenplay and flawless performances

- Excerpt: Despite all the problems, it’s still Scorsese making the final product. It’s nowhere near a full-blown masterpiece that Scorsese made at his peak, but the DNA is there.
