The early critic reviews for Martin Scorcese’s indigenous western Killer of the Flower Moon have started rolling in and like any deeply dramatic film, trigger warnings are important to note for potential audience members. Though, one critic’s “alert” is outside the norm for reviews.



Allison M. is a film critic who made sure to note everything in Scorcese’s four-hour epic that isn’t vegan in her Letterboxd review.


The list goes; “Feathers, fur, rodeo, animal skull, silent genocide, meat at the grocer/dead and skinned animals hanging up in the meat shop, insulin: from the pancreas of cows, goats milk, bacon, riding horses, horse-drawn carriages, dead humans shown.”


After rewatching the trailer for Killers of the Flower Moon, this all feels self-explanatory for a western about the killing of native people. You can stomach a plot to eradicate indigenous men and women but draw a line at a cowboy on horseback.



The vegan alerts are not just for this one review but for all of Allison M’s reviews on Letterboxd. In her Oppenheimer review, she adds that Einstein “refers to salmon” in a scene. She made sure to list “humans call to kill the rat man” in the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Which is honestly fair. I’d want a heads-up before seeing my favorite sewage rat father get threatened.



Reading more and more of her Letterboxd reviews, you almost think this is a bit that started genuine, wanting to warn the animal sensitive from abruptly watching animal torture that has progressed to sillier warnings like Barbie drinking invisible milk in Barbie.



Whether or not this is actually an elaborate piece of online performance art, Allison M did give Scorcese’s film 4 out of 5 stars even with the depiction of newly invented 1920s insulin made from cow pancreas.
