What I Like:

-The acting was great mainly Leonardo DiCaprio as the often delusional guy who marries a wealthy Native, and the problems ensue, and Robert De Niro as the manipulating mastermind of the Osage Murders, he was calm and but he was a bad guy, it is fascinating how his character was developed
-The story is a true story of what happened during that era with the Natives who discovered oil in their reservation that made them wealthy, and how white people try to manipulate it to their own, it is a tragedy, but interesting to see
-I liked the different take on an epilogue, it was a breath of fresh air

The So So:

-The movie is long, director Martin Scorsese really likes to push it with time, but at least it wasn’t boring, there were some slow points but it was minimal, but three and a half hours in a movie theater (4 hours if you include trailers) can be brutal to your bladder

What I Didn’t Like:

-Back to being too long, there were some parts that could’ve been cut down, it didn’t have to be that long

Overall:

Despite my disdain of how long it is, it is a good movie and Martin Scorsese at his finest. The story and acting was top notch, and a good story for us to think how bad and manipulative people can be. The emotion, and thrills are there, but expressed in a different and more realistic tone. That is something I can appreciate!!!
