Actress Lily Gladstone has addressed Native viewers of Killers of the Flower Moon on social media.In a thread posted to their X (formerly Twitter) account, Lily Gladstone expressed a heartfelt message to future Native viewers of their latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon. Gladstone, who plays Osage woman Mollie Kyle in the film, is of Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu heritage themselves. In their post, Gladstone spoke to young viewers and women in particular, saying to “See [Killers of the Flower Moon] when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with.” They continued, adding that Indigenous viewers will “likely have a lot of generational grief to process. You’re not alone.”The latest film by Martin Scorsese is receiving both praise and condemnation from audiences for its brutal depiction of the Osage murders, a true event in which white encroaching neighbors committed a series of murders against the Osage for their oil-rich land. Gladstone’s character Mollie is one of the Osage who is betrayed several times by her husband Ernest Burkhardt (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his calculated uncle William Hale (Robert De Niro). Mollie’s character experiences an almost endless string of grief after losing her family members one after another, while her attempts at an investigation into the murders are continuously thwarted by her husband. Nonetheless, Mollie’s story is one of perseverance against an unjust system — a story that may be understandably emotionally fraught for Native viewers.Leonardo DiCaprio Reportedly Receives Massive Payday for Killers of the Flower Moon
