The Osage Nation are fabulously wealthy, owning mineral rights to the oil rich lands and receive regular government stipends based off family inheritance.
Ernest works as a cab driver and begins regularly driving an Osage woman, Mollie (Lily Gladstone). Eventually romance blossoms and they marry. Wealth has meant they are seen as desirable/eligible outside the Osage community.
Meanwhile death stalks the the wealthy Osage.
Scorsese makes a mini-series then calls it a movie.
I struggle a bit with the applause this got: it feels like Mollie had more to be discovered on screen while Ernest is a weak man being bossed around by his uncle making the same mistakes repeatedly and we don't see him really change much.
Decent but with the focus in the wrong place, 7/10.
