“The work is better when you let the world inform the work,” Gladstone stated. “That was very refreshing how involved the production got with the [Osage Nation] community. As the community warmed up to our presence, the more the community got involved with the film. It’s a different movie than the one [Scorsese] walked in to make almost entirely because of what the community had to say about how it was being made and what was being portrayed.”
“It’s not a white savior story,” Gladstone stated of the movie to Vulture. “It’s the Osage saying, ‘Do something. Here’s money. Come help us.’”
