Lily Gladstone Warns of 'Killers of the Flower Moon's' Potential Impact on Indigenous Audiences

In the wake of criticisms about the film's graphic content, Gladstone encourages viewers to watch only when ready and provides resources for support.

Lily Gladstone, star of 'Killers of the Flower Moon', has issued a warning about the film's potentially triggering content, particularly for Indigenous audiences, due to its graphic depiction of the brutal Osage murders.
Gladstone encourages Indigenous viewers to watch the film only when they feel ready and with people they feel safe with, acknowledging that the film may trigger a lot of generational grief.
She has shared resources for support, including the StrongHearts Native Helpline, the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, and the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women.
The film has faced criticism for its graphic content, with 'Reservation Dogs' star Devery Jacobs describing it as 'painful, grueling, unrelenting, and unnecessarily graphic'.
Despite the criticisms, Gladstone expresses pride in the film, highlighting the involvement of many Osage Nation leaders, artists, educators, and community advocates in its creation.
