Damn near the only review that matters about KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is from Christopher Cote. For context, he was the language consultant for the Osage for the film.

Arnaud Bertrand Edgar Morin's powerful message is a wake-up call. His words remind us of the profound irony and tragedy unfolding in Gaza. As descendants of persecution now perpetrate oppression, the world's silence is deafening. We must heed Morin's call to bear witness, resist apathy, and
