An Osage language consultant who worked on 'Killers of the Flower Moon' is praising Martin Scorsese but noting that 'this film isn't made for an Osage audience.'

Language consultant Christopher Cote, who worked on the film, praised Martin Scorsese but noted that “this film isn’t made for an Osage audience.”Devan Coggan is a staff writer at Entertainment Weekly. Most of her personality is just John Mulaney quotes and Lord of the Rings references.at the film's Los Angeles premiere Monday.

"As an Osage, I really wanted this to be from the perspective of Mollie and what her family experienced, but I think it would take an Osage to do that," Cote told"Martin Scorsese, not being Osage, I think he did a great job representing our people, but this history is being told almost from the perspective of Ernest Burkhart and they kind of give him this conscience and kind of depict that there's love.

Standing Bear added that at first, he was "concerned" when he learned that the film rights to Grann's book had been sold, but he was quickly reassured by how Scorsese met with and hired Osage experts. "I can say that we were very concerned," Standing Bear explained. "I can also tell you that when Marty showed up in my office, he started out right off saying, 'We're going to film here. We're going to tell this story through the eyes of Mollie.' And it was a process of building trust like David did."
