Let's get to the point; yes, this movie is long, even for Star Wars enthusiasts and lovers of description overload, but it is an absolutely stunning piece of cinematography, with fantastic acting, about a part of American history, involving Native American oppression and racism that must be told!
Often in America, when we think of systemic racism, African Americans come to mind, and in fact the plight and struggles of black people, dealing with generational poverty and lack of opportunities, has rightly dominated Hollywood's narrative for the last 40 years or so. Now, I think the time has finally come to shine a light on other groups of Americans, who have also seen their lands stolen, who have been pushed to live in the fringe of society (reservoirs), who have been culled and had their lifespans dramatically reduced (Native American women have the youngest mortality rates), and who's stories have been ignored for way too long. THIS is a story about love (of family, of land, and of heritage), survival/resilience, and about a country ultimately learning from their mistakes and wanting to do better!
Bravo, Mr Scorsese, for taking such time and care to get this story right, and in doing so, creating a work of art that pays tribute to the Osage Nation and to Mollie Kyle and her family.
