In the movie, Clementine (played by Jenny Tran) suffers the loss of her father, which leads to her living and looking after her stepmom, and the two don’t exactly see eye to eye. During this time, Clementine meets Adam (played by Brendan Michael Coughlin) and while starting a relationship, the couple also start plans that involve killing off old people and taking their money through their wills.

While she develops a crush on him, her widowed stepmother Bella (Victoria Goodheart) has a stroke, and Jenny must become her caregiver. This eventually inspires opening the large house to other old and lonely folks, and the idea that some ripoff schemes that could generate some necessary cash.

Little Miss Sociopath...

Indigenous stories aren’t always told with the care, nuance and authenticity they deserve in Hollywood, and, more often than not, their stories aren’t told at all.

While “Killers of the Flower Moon” has certainly prompted discourse within indigenous communities about who should tell what stories, the Osage Nation Congress has unanimously endorsed the creative contributions that Lily Gladstone and Scott George made to the film. The tribal governing body recently passed bills expressing support for their roles in Martin Scorsese’s historical epic. Signed by all 12 members of the legislative branch, the bills became law on Feb. 2.

Scorsese’s film is based on the murdering spree that targeted Oklahoma’s Osage Nation in the early 20th century, which was executed with the intention of stealing the community’s oil wealth. Gladstone and George are nominated for Academy Awards for best actress and best original song, respectively. Starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio,...
