Their latest Apple TV+ film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, has received a high amount of praise and critical acclaim since its premiere at the festival on Saturday.
The project is based on a 2017 nonfiction book titled, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, written by David Grann.
Some of the star-studded cast includes Leonardo, Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Lily Gladstone, and also Jesse Plemons.
The premise follows, ‘Members of the Osage tribe in the United States are murdered under mysterious circumstances in the 1920s, sparking a major F.B.I. investigation involving J. Edgar Hoover,’ according to an IMDB synopsis.
After the screening of the film at Cannes, the project garnered a whopping nine-minute standing ovation, per Variety.
Scorsese addressed the applauding crowd to express his gratitude and stated, ‘Thank you to the Osages. Everyone connected with the picture. My old pals Bob and Leo, and Jesse and Lily. We shot this a couple of years ago in Oklahoma. It’s taken its time to come around, but Apple did so great by us.’

The three and a half hour movie had a budget of $200 million, and notably premiered 45 minutes late at the festival on Saturday. The movie was also Martin’s first film to screen at Cannes since his 1985 project, After Hours.

IndieWire said DiCaprio gives ‘his best-ever performance’, while The Guardian awarded five stars for a ‘remarkable epic about the bloody birth of America’. There were some dissenting notes, with The Times calling it ‘a damp squib’.
