After debuting at Cannes Film Festival and then hitting theaters in October, Martin Scorsese‘s star-studded crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” will be available to purchase on digital and on-demand streaming beginning Tuesday, Dec. 5.
Even with its daunting three-and-a-half-hour runtime, the R-rated “Killers of the Flower Moon” has been embraced by moviegoers (landing an “A-” CinemaScore) and critics (92% on Rotten Tomatoes). Adapted from David Grann’s 2017 novel and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, the story takes place amid the “Reign of Terror,” a period that refers to the mysterious murders that took place after major oil deposits were discovered on the Osage nation’s land in the early 1920s.
The film was met with immediate critical acclaim upon its debut at Cannes Film Festival. It was honored as the best feature of 2023 by the New York Film Critics Circle last week, and also received the Gotham Historical Icon and Creator Tribute at the Gotham Awards where it won best score. The film will likely receive a number of Oscar nominations, with many predicting a Best Actress nod for Lily Gladstone, Best Director and Best Picture recognition for Scorsese and Best Actor for Dicaprio, among others.
“‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ has been hailed by many critics as a masterpiece, but I would say it’s a divisive movie,” Variety chief film critic Owen Gleiberman wrote in his review. “I wouldn’t call it love-it-or-hate-it. More like love-it vs. it’s-too-long-and-is-somehow-missing-something.”
