7/10
An expensive and pretentious bore.
1 January 2024
I had high hopes for this movie, which featured the powerhouse trio of Scorsese behind and DiCaprio and De Niro in front of the camera, yet the end result is a boring, overlong and very disappointing mess.

The trailer showed some real promise, but the movie was nothing like it. A relatively interesting premise was stretched too thin and with little to no surprises along the way, I was waiting for it to end.

I was baffled to find out that the movie bombed at the box office, but now I can get why.

Scorsese is still searching for his mojo after his last dull movie epic experiment (The Irishman), but this is far from his best. DiCaprio looks washed up and rather disinterested, while other high profile cameos from big names like Branden Fraser and John Lithgow are wasted.

Killers of the Flower Moon is my pick for the year's most boring movie. You can find something more meaningful to do for 3.5 hours.

An extremely dull and lifeless vanity project
4 October 2023
This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If it weren't for Johnny Depp's name on the cast list, nobody would really care about it. It's one of the most soulless pieces of ,,art" I've encountered.

Maiwenn (I've never heard about her before this film) directed and cast herself in the leading role, basically using this real life story as a means to show off her ,,talents". The pacing is bad, Jeanne's story is uninteresting and I personally found Maiwenn too unattractive to take seriously as a woman desired by so many men.

Depp pretty much plays his usual offbeat character even in this ,,serious" movie. His talents are clearly wasted here and I hope he pulls himself together and get involved in some decent projects in the near future.

Avoid.
