“Killers of the Flower Moon,” the latest from renowned director Martin Scorsese, is grueling not just for its tremendous runtime, but also for its bleak and plodding depiction of racism and atrocity in 1920s Oklahoma.

Priscilla’s Elvis is an insecure jock, […]

There’s no vanity in De Niro’s or DiCaprio’s performance; they are loathsome, petty, and thoroughly unworthy of the people whose trust they are betraying.
