It is great to see important movies such as Killers of the Flower Moon being made by directors like Martin Scorsese and with first-rate actors. I especially liked Lily Gladstone and the way she delivered her lines; they all had meaning and heft as in "Storm, it's a, well it's powerful. So we need to be quiet for awhile." Also great is that they allowed the running time to go over 3 hours which was needed. Imagine if some hack producers bought the rights to this book and made it half as long to save money and increase profit margins. I can't think of anything in this movie that could have been cut. Some glorious shots here too. The overhead shot of William Hale's mansion, Robert De Niro's character, comes to mind here. It does so much in defining his character.
