Hearts of Darkness
4 February 2024
I read the book in 2017 and Scorcese stays true to the source material. The major difference being that the book has more material on the financial angle of the supposed caretakers of the Osage people.

Robert De Niro is the leader of the evil and money hungry pack of thieves with murder in his heart. Leonardo DiCaprio is his equally greedy nephew who marries an Osage woman named Mollie, with rights to the land's oil rich territory.

Lily Gladstone is magnificent as Mollie and will most likely win the Oscar for Best Actress. The entire cast shines under the watchful direction of Marty Scorcese. I took off one point for the unnecessary length of over three hours. The credits alone must run ten minutes. It takes a village to work on a Marty production.
