Martin Scorsese's compelling, righteously furious crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon is now available to stream at home on Apple TV Plus, and is well worth watching if you haven't seen it in theaters. Starring Robert De Niro in diabolical uncle mode, Leonardo DiCaprio in tortured idiot mode and a brilliant, movie-stealing, award-winning Lily Gladstone, the film tells the incredible, horrifying true story of the wholesale murder of members of the wealthy Osage tribe in 1920s Oklahoma. Based on David Grann's nonfiction bestseller, Scorsese's film focuses on the marriage of Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) and Osage heiress Mollie (Gladstone), and the machinations of De Niro's cattle baron Bill Hale as he tries to secure Mollie's family's oil rights. It is a damning portrait of American complicity, greed and erasure.

But Killers of the Flower Moon is a monster of a film, clocking in at nearly three and a half hours. Many will understandably consider splitting the film into parts to watch at home. If you're wondering how to fit this terrifying, Oppenheimer-dwarfing runtime into your busy life, we're here to help, with suggestions for the best places to split the film into two, three, or even four parts. But first, a word of caution – or perhaps encouragement.
