Martin Scorsese is back with another celebrated drama about crime and moral decay, and once again, the cinema legend has teamed with a streamer to get it done. Previously, Scorsese teamed with Netflix for “The Irishman” and now, he’s teamed with Apple Original Films for his historical crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
So does that mean you can watch “Killers of the Flower Moon” on Apple TV+ right now? Yes! It’s poised to be a major player at the 2024 Academy Awards, and it’s finally available for all to stream. Among the most nominated films of the year (after “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things”), “Killers of the Flower Moon” snagged 10 nominations including best picture, best director, best actress for Lily Gladstone and best supporting actor for Robert De Niro.
The film first debuted to a rapturous reception back at Cannes in 2023, with critics hailing it as one of the legendary filmmaker’s best. Based on the celebrated book of the same name, it tells the horrific story of the murders of multiple Osage people in 1920s Oklahoma after oil was discovered on tribal land, in what came to be known as the “Reign of Terror.”
