This story could be told far better in half the running time. Too much of it is the director trying repeatedly to hammer home his point of brutish, greedy white guys preying upon the noble and peaceful Osage.
This being a Scorsese film, the brutality must of course be graphic. The end of the film (yes, I got there) is particularly confusing and discordant, with Martin himself showing up to play a role... or was that DeNiro? They look alike in their old ages.
DeNiro and DiCaprio are too cartoonish to be believable as the villains, leaving essentially no one to like in the story. The actress who played Molly... sorry, she is just not that good - but of course she will probably win the oscar because her role is of the victim.
