Killers Of The Flower Moon is now available to watch at home
You can now experience Leonardo DiCaprio's pout from the comfort of your couch
If you were nervous about seeing a 206-minute epic with absolutely no intermissions in theaters, or you really wanted to experience Brendan Fraser and his “girth” from the comfort of your own home, today’s your lucky day. Fresh off nabbing both a Best Film win and a Best Actress win (for Lily Gladstone) from the New York Film Critic’s Circle Awards, Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon is now available to rent and buy on demand.
Unfortunately, the film isn’t available to stream for free anywhere yet. It will eventually be added to Apple TV+’s roster, but for now you can purchase or borrow the movie on Prime, Google Play, and other VOD services. As of this writing, the film costs $19.99 to rent and $24.99 to buy on Prime.
Killers Of The Flower Moon, based on David Grann’s 2017 book of the same name, tells the story of a series of brutal murders of the Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma, at the hands of white settlers who wanted money inherited from the oil on their land. Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio star as married couple Mollie and Ernest Burkhart (a role that was apparently Leonardo DiCaprio’s idea to cast himself in), alongside Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, and more. (Not to mention, of course, one very special cameo.)
“Scorsese has always chronicled how America obtains its power and position over the rest of the world and the rotting underbelly of that status,” Murtada Elfadl wrote in his “A” review of the film for The A.V. Club. “The milieu might be different but that truth remains at the heart of his storytelling. Sometimes accused of glorifying violence, here Scorsese presents it in its ugliest shape; deliberate and intentional. Killers Of The Flower Moon is as momentous as the country it’s set in and as full of history as the people whose murder it depicts.”
