| | Pirate Route | | :--- | :--- | | $9.99 (one month subscription) or $24.99 (permanent 4K copy) | $0.00 upfront | | No malware | $300+ to remove adware/viruses | | 4K Dolby Vision | 720p with watermarks or audio desync | | No legal risk | Up to $150,000 per title in civil lawsuit (US Copyright Law) | | Supports the Osage Nation & filmmakers | Steals from indigenous storytellers |

The film received ten Academy Award nominations. Lily Gladstone’s performance was particularly historic, making her the first Native American woman to be nominated for Best Actress. The movie is praised for its historical accuracy, its haunting score by the late Robbie Robertson, and its unflinching look at a dark chapter in American history.
