There’s a difference between “long” and “epic,” although in movie terms the two frequently get confused. Martin Scorsese delivers the former but not the latter with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” his second consecutive three-and-a-half-hour movie derived from a true story and underwritten by a prestige-hungry streaming service.
In this case, it’s Apple TV+, after Netflix let the veteran director run free in the editing room with “The Irishman.” The result turns out to be similar in its weaknesses and less pronounced in its strengths, yielding a stark, even bleak, look at the wanton murder of Native Americans to obtain their oil money a century ago, while local authorities turned a blind eye.
Complicating the grim business at hand, the simple Ernest genuinely grows to love her, even as he participates in his uncle’s increasingly ruthless scheming to eliminate anyone who might stand between him and all that cash. As constructed by Scorsese, who shares screenplay credit with Eric Roth in adapting David Grann’s book, the film takes its sweet time chronicling this cascading series of events, which for many will serve as a revelatory chapter in US history.
