The story is powerful as is the acting in most cases, but the pace was slow and made the film feel dragged out at times. I also think they could have used subtitles more judiciously on scenes where Ernest talks to his wife in Osage language. Nevertheless, import history to document, even though this account is surely fictionalized to a great degree. I felt DeNiro was underutilized and underplayed his role to some degree. That was also a weakness. Not a big fan of DiCaprio, but this is probably the best actual performance I've seen from him in a while. He's usually basically playing himself or a caricature thereof. This was an actual character with his accent and bearing adjusted well. The Indian actors were amazing. The sets and settings felt authentic but there were definitely some scenes that could have been shortened or shortcutted around to make the film shorter and better paced.
