"Killers of the Flower Moon" is a film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It is based on the historical non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann. Set in the 1920s, the story revolves around the Osage Indian Nation, who became the wealthiest people per capita in the world after oil was discovered in their land. However, the Osage people were subsequently targeted for murder and their wealth was systematically stolen. The film follows the investigation led by FBI agent Tom White, played by DiCaprio, as he uncovers a vast conspiracy behind the killings.

The film has attracted significant attention and controversy. One criticism revolves around the issue of representation, with some Indigenous actors and activists arguing that the film does not adequately represent or humanize the Native characters and instead focuses on the white characters. Devery Jacobs, a star of the TV series "Reservation Dogs," particularly criticized the portrayal of violence against Native women in the film.

"Killers of the Flower Moon" also faced competition at the box office from Taylor Swift's concert film "The Eras Tour," which had a strong opening weekend. However, the film still opened strongly and received positive reviews for its visuals and storytelling. Some critics praised Scorsese's direction and DiCaprio's performance, while others criticized the film's long runtime.

Despite the controversy and competition, "Killers of the Flower Moon" has generated significant interest and attention. It has been commended for shedding light on a lesser-known period of history and is seen as another collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio, who have worked together on multiple successful films in the past. The film's success and reception at the box office and among critics will play a role in determining its ultimate impact and legacy.
