Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon begins and ends with a ceremony, starting with a ritual of mourning and concluding with affirmation of community. In between, over the course of 206 minutes, it is a story of murder, manipulation, and survival, an engrossing, deliberate work that also has expansive, unexpected moments and disconcerting juxtapositions. It is packed with vivid cameos and has three striking performances at its centre.
