Scorsese is famous for gangster dramas, but Killers of the Flower Moon is a historical drama about the Osage Nation murders in the 1920s. The twist? This isn't a detective story. We know who the killers are from minute one. The drama comes from watching the evil unfold in slow motion.

What makes the for Past Lives glow is its restraint. There is no affair, no screaming match. The tension exists entirely in the space between words. The final scene at the bar, where the husband (a hilarious and kind John Magaro) watches his wife with her "what-if," is devastating.
