In 1919 rustic WWI veteran DiCaprio returns from battle to live with (and seek work) from influential uncle De Niro on his ranch in Oklahoma, located right in the vicinity of the Osage Nation who've discovered oil and slowly assimilated themselves into white society. DiCaprio gets in the good graces of (and eventually weds) Osage woman Gladstone and initially all seems well, but then waves of violence and slaughter commence against the Osage which eventually forces the BOI to intervene. A real-life series of Western crime incidents are given the epic-scale treatment which makes for a long slog, but the story is riveting, emotions are raw and real, the cinematography outstanding, and the actors are fully invested. Even with their numerous collaborations with the director in the past, this is actually the first onscreen pairing of DiCaprio and De Niro with Scorsese behind the camera, and no big surprise that they deliver the goods, but the true revelation is Gladstone in a quietly captivating performance. ***
