Lily Gladstone responds to Devery Jacobs' critique of 'Killers of the Flower Moon'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lily Gladstone is reflecting on her fellow actress Deverey Jacobs' take on her latest 'Killers of the Flower Moon.’

Talking with Rolling Stone, the star said, “We’re friends. I crashed on her couch in Toronto when ‘Certain Women’ played at TIFF,” Gladstone said of Jacobs. She also revealed that the actor’s "face drops" whenever the topic is brought up.

Jacobs criticized Flick for not doing justice to Osage

Jacobs has slammed the film for not showing its Osage characters with “honor or dignity,” and further dehumanizing them by depicting their deaths. “I don’t want to bring heat back on her for this because I think that’s unfair. Her reaction is hers.”

Jacobs is also an Indigenous actor, like Lily, and is widely known for playing Elora on three seasons of the FX and Hulu comedy series.

“Her reaction is a response to a lot of trauma that particularly Native women feel seeing these things for the first time,” Gladstone continued.

“I had a lot of time acclimating myself to the script. The Osage people have had their lives to understand this history. The process of making this movie gave a lot of people a chance to speak. Ultimately, Osage's reaction is what I care about the most.”

Jacobs expressed her opinion over X, formerly Twitter. Gladstone too tweeted to tell Indigenous women and youth to see the film "only if you feel ready and see it with people you feel safe with. You’ll likely have a lot of generational grief to process. You’re not alone.”

‘Flower Moon:’ A true story of 1920s atrocity 'Flower Moon' 

‘Flower Moon’ is based on a true story and centers around the "Reign of Terror," a term given to the murders of at least 60 members of the Osage nation in the late 1920s, as per Variety.

Jacobs wrote on X last October that watching ‘Flower Moon’ was "fucking hellfire.

“Imagine the worst atrocities committed against [your] ancestors, then having to sit [through] a movie explicitly filled with them, with the only respite being 30-minute-long scenes of murderous white guys talking about/planning the killings,” Jacobs said back then.

“It must be noted that Lily Gladstone is an absolute legend and carried Mollie with tremendous grace. All the incredible Indigenous actors were the only redeeming factors of this film.

Give Lily her goddamn Oscar. But while all of the performances were strong, if you look proportionally, each of the Osage characters felt painfully underwritten, while the white men were given way more courtesy and depth.”
