Ernest the driver offers Mollie, a wealthy Osage woman a ride, in an opening scene from Killers of the Flower Moon starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone.
Author Angela Sterritt and culture critics Jesse Wente and Johnnie Jae react to Killers of The Flower Moon and what it might suggest about who gets to tell Indigenous stories in 2023.CBC ArtsLeonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” in theaters now. has finally arrived in theatres.
Sterritt says that while there were some positive moments of cultural representation on display, she wasn't convinced the film did enough to fully capture the perspectives and realities of the Osage people who lived through this history. "This was a masterclass in the opposite of what I teach. The way that the murders were shown with these over-gratuitous details — the sounds in cutting body parts…. There were parts of the dismembering of the body where I had no idea why they were showing that, or even how it was part of the plot," Sterritt says.
Wente says he was also frustrated with how "messy" and "underwritten" the main female character, an Osage woman named Mollie Kyle, felt to him. "The source material is non-Native and Martin Scorsese is non-Native, so we were never going to get a movie that was specifically for Native people. the wrongness that we often see in movies in the way that any time there's a relationship involving a Native woman and a white man, that he can do horrendous things to her — but they portray it as love…. We've seen that in this film, and it was kind of disturbing to watch it play out. It doesn't make sense.
