I don't know what to think about 'Killers of the Flower Moon'. I've seen a lot of publicity, but it always seem to focus on Scorsese, De Niro and Leonardo diCaprio (I'm not a fan), such as the photo shoot of British Vogue. Why is he so much in the picture/ so prominent, while the focus should be on Lily Gladstone, in my opinion.

I don't think your critique of Dark Winds is unfair. I've seen other Natives and Navajo people just tear it apart. The fact it's based on those Tony Hillerman books only makes it worse. I thought it was mildly entertaining but it does feel sensationalized when it comes to Native "mysticism".
