Martin Scorsese Defends Brendan Fraser's Killers Of The Flower Moon Performance Amid Backlash
Amid criticism of Brendan Fraser’s performance in Martin Scorsese’s latest film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, the iconic filmmaker is making it clear that he has no qualms with the star’s work in his movie.
Brendan’s role as W.S. Hamilton, a dramatic attorney for Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio’s characters, has so far garnered mixed reviews from fans and critics.
However, Scorsese said that in his eyes, the Academy Award winner was “perfect” in the part and “great to work with”.
Scorsese's Praise for Brendan Fraser
“We thought he’d be great for the lawyer, and I admired his work over the years,” Scorsese told LADBible.
“We had a really good time working together, particularly with Leo. Particularly in the scene where he says, ‘They’re putting a noose around your neck, he’s saving you, dumb boy.’”

The director’s comments haven’t stopped Brendan’s controversial performance from sparking a debate on social media. Some fans on X, formerly Twitter, praised his acting skills while others slammed his over-the-top delivery:
It’s baffling to me that people have taken issue with Brendan Fraser’s performance in Killers of the Flower Moon. Aside from it being historically accurate (by all accounts) he’s the boisterous mask of nobility!

I didn’t care for Brendan Fraser’s performance in the Killers of the Flower Moon but I appreciated his presence if that makes sense.

Also, having seen Killers of the Flower Moon, I'm on team "Brendan Fraser understood the assignment".
Like, he is over the top, but the scenes he's in are already kind of over the top and are meant to be jarring.— Christian Hannah (@TheHannahcast) October 30, 2023

Just watched Killers of the Flower Moon today and as most Scorcese films it's great. It runs long but apart from a bit at the end it doesn't drag. Was positively surprised to see Brendan Fraser there!

Brendan’s performance isn’t the only aspect of the film that’s received pushback. The film’s lengthy runtime of 3 hours and 26 minutes also received a lot of flack online.
Scorsese's Response to Runtime Criticism
But Scorsese says he isn’t fazed over complaints about how long his film lasts.
“People say it’s three hours, but come on,” the director told The Hindustan Times last month.
“You can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours. Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours.
There are real actors on stage, you can’t get up and walk around. You give it that respect, give cinema some respect.”
