Devery Jacobs outlined her issues with Killers of the Flower Moon.Devery Jacobs, the actress best known for playing Elora on FX’s Reservation Dogs, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Martin Scorsese’s latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon. Her character Elora is a member of the Muscogee nation, while Jacobs herself is proudly a member of the Mohawk tribe. In her thread, the actress outlined why the film was upsetting, with her primary reasons being “underwritten” Osage characters, the decision to “[center] the white perspective,” and the “painful, grueling, and unrelenting and unnecessarily graphic” moments in the film.Jacobs stated in her thread that the film was “f***ing hellfire” to endure as a Native person, and that while she understands the purpose of the gratuitous violence for its shock value, ultimately she did not believe that “these very real people were shown honor or dignity in the horrific portrayal of their deaths.” One character she is presumably referring to is that of Mollie Kyle, played by Lily Gladstone. Jacobs made sure to praise Gladstone and the rest of the Osage actors’ performances, saying their acting was “the only redeeming factors of this film” and vouching for an Oscar nomination for Gladstone.RELATED: Reservation Dogs’ Hot Chip Metaphor Perfectly Encapsulates What Made the Series Special
