Don't let the runtime make you blind from seeing it correctly.

A powerful and insightful look at systematic corruption that happened a hundred years ago in United States towards indigenous people (Native Americans) to steal their money and land.

America needs more and more films like this that depicts the atrocities that lots of white people do to indigenous people in the history.

We should see and examine such horrific acts to be able to act and judge better about contemporary conflicts that are going on. Learning from history is absolutely important.

It's a Martin Scorsese film so you can pretty much be sure that it's a very professional film. Professionalism is something that you can see in every single minute of this film. Everything is so crafted, worked and beautifully done.

Production values are extraordinary. Art direction and colour grading was fantastic.

Rodrigo Prieto did a great job. He's a great cinematographer.

Robbie Robertson's score was exceptional and made the film more appealing. There were just a few moments that I did't quiet agree with that particular piece.

Casting was flawless and everyone did their positions very good, maybe not perfect. Leonardo DiCaprio put a lot of energy on this role to make it happen.

Screenplay was rich and insightful, it was based on David Grann's book and adapted by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese. Eric Roth is great.

If you ask me about the runtime, I would say, yeah I think it's a bit longer than it should be and I could cut some of the scenes out of the final version without harming the plot but it shouldn't cause us to completely deny the power of the film and its values.

8/10.
