How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A methodical, unflinching excavation of historical violence and systemic predation, where the American appetite for wealth eats the Osage Nation alive. Scorsese crafts a western that feels like an autopsy, examining the psychology of complicity and the machinery of genocide with moral weight and formal precision.

This is as good as everyone says, and based on my post-watch Googling seems to be very historically accurate.

I regret not splitting it into a few smaller pieces, because the runtime weighed on me a few times. It's never boring; it's just that many hours in the dark makes a gal sleepy.
