Regarding Devery Jacobs' criticism of "Killers of the Flower Moon," Lily Gladstone said, "This movie gave a lot of people a chance to speak."

The Golden Globe winner emphasized in a Tuesday interview that she "ultimately, Osage reaction is what I care about the most" and that she did not "want to bring heat back on" her "Reservation Dogs" co-star.

Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's interpretation of the Osage murders, is a film that chronicles the “reign of terror,” a string of unsolved murders by white Americans as part of a plot to steal the wealth of the Osage tribe, which retained the mineral rights, including oil leases, on their reservation. Lily Gladstone, who won a Golden Globe for her role in Reservation Dogs, is defending her co-star Devery Jacobs' right to her opinion about the film.

In the movie, Gladstone plays Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who is targeted alongside her family by her husband, Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), for their oil headrights on their Oklahoma reservation. Jacobs wrote, "Imagine the worst atrocities committed against yr ancestors, then having to sit thru a movie explicitly filled w/ them, w/ the only respite being 30min long scenes of murderous white guys talking about/planning the killings." This was partially accomplished by white men marrying women of the tribe and taking on the role of guardians of their Osage partner's estate.

Gladstone had told The rolling process The rock that she and Jacobs are friends, with the afterwards enabling the Killers of the Flower Moon star to malfunction “on her seat in the city when Certain Women participated at TIFF.” As an associate Native woman, Gladstone articulated that she did not “want to bring heat back on [Jacobs] for this since I think that’s unfair. Her responses is hers.” The Unidentified Country star and writer traveled on to add that responses like Jacobs’ are “a reacting to a lot of trauma that especially Native women feel spotting these things for the first time,” before highlighting that she her character “had a lot of time settling in myself to the script.

While much of the buzz surrounding the film praised its Indigenous representation, Jacobs was not the only one to voice concerns about the film's white-led perspective. Christopher Cote, the film's Osage language consultant, told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's L.A. premiere that after seeing the film, he had "some strong opinions." "The Osage people have had their lives to understand this history," she continued. "But ultimately, Osage reaction is what I care about the most."



"Martin Scorsese, not being Osage, I think he did a great job representing our people, but this history is being told almost from the perspective of Ernest Burkhart, and they kind of give him this conscience and kind of depict that there is love. But when somebody conspires to murder your entire family, that is not love. That is just beyond abuse," Cote said. "As an Osage, I really wanted this to be from the perspective of Mollie and what her family experienced, but I think it would take an Osage to do that."

Gladstone, who is currently a front-runner for the Academy Award, won the best performance by a female actor in a motion picture—dramas category last Sunday. This was a first for the Indigenous acting community and awards show. Gladstone is expected to be among the Oscars' best actress nominees.
