8/10

This film offers an absolutely brutally honest account of racism and colonialism. Despite my admiration for Scorcese as a filmmaker, Killers of the Flower Moon was a whimpy, white-washed version of exploitation compared to what Felipe Gálvez Haberle and his team delivers in Los Colonos. It's a gripping tale well told. I also thought cinematographer Simone D'Arcangelo's decisions were fantastic. All of it served to highlight the grim truth of the situation.
