Rated Killers of the Flower Moon 7/10

First off, there is absolutely no reason to rationalize this movie being longer than 2.5 hours, much less 3.5 hours. That being said, it does not make this a bad movie. Far from it. KofFM carries its way too long run time around like an albatross around its neck. The story is important to tell, so I was willing to trudge through. Glad I stuck with it. Plenty to like here, especially the performance from practically every actor in this star-studded cast. Even the newcomers and non-actors (Pete Yorn, Sturgil Simpson) were wonderful. Scorsce knows how to make a movie. Not exactly a hot take, but you can see the care he takes in his craft. However, I feel taken advantage of. Almost like he knows I would watch whatever he puts on the screen, and he dared me to endure 3 hours and 26 minutes for him to do his thing. Again, I'm glad I saw this movie, but there is no reason it needed to be this long.
