![]() And, as with his last two movies, Sheridan has something to say about the world here - and he says it with compassion and without preaching. Wind River is an crime movie directed by Taylor Sheridan and starring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Gil Birmingham and Kelsey Asbille and Jon Bernthal. Wind River gets into controversial territory by telling a Native American story with two white leads, but at least it's a well-told, intelligent, and respectful story, and the characters are interesting in and of themselves. The characters' restrained, stoic nature can make Wind River feel like it has skipped over certain details, simply because some things aren't discussed, but it's easy to forgive a movie that favors mood over chatty dialogue. A haunting score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis helps set the tone. All three films are set in lawless communities, like modern-day Westerns this one uses its snowbound Wyoming passages to suggest that, if the characters go poking near danger, no one is coming to the rescue. Sheridan wrote two of cinema's sharpest recent crime stories, Sicario and Hell or High Water he now adds Wind River to that list. However, despite the harsh content for the writing, directing, incredible acting performances and the real world issues it forces the audience to confront I love this film and strongly recommend it for mature audiences.Īctor-turned-screenwriter Taylor Sheridan makes his directorial debut with this smart, solid crime movie that, while not without its flaws, makes excellent use of open spaces and haunting quiet. There is also a good amount of language and the film does not shy away from the drug use and alcoholism which does sadly plague many reservations today. The film is violent and intense with bloody gun violence and the intensely distributing scene in Matt's trailer where Natalie is raped and he is killed (spoilers). The Native American cultures of the Wind River Reservation, specifically the Arapaho nation, are respectfully and accurately portrayed. Natalie herself is a strong intelligent young woman and great for representation. Matt Rayburn (Jon Berthal) is likewise a good man, sacrificing his life to protect the woman he loves when she is attacked by his fellow security contractors. There is a quiet maturity and honor about him which is quite admirable. Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) is a good man determined to find justice for Natalie while seeking closure for his own murdered daughter as well. This film should receive great praise for positive role models and elements. Director Taylor Sheridan does a phenomenal job of drawing attention to this issue through the story of Natalie Hanson, a young native woman who is raped and then freezes to death trying to escape. They are the most victimized demographic in the United States and receive the least support of any women. The film's message about violence against Native American women is powerful and true. Wind River holds a place among those movies that while being a well made and high quality film, also calls attention to real issues in our world which many people choose to ignore. The movie marks the directorial debut of Taylor Sheridan, who wrote Sicario and Hell or High Water, and it's another smart, solid, but very mature story. While some may raise eyebrows at a Native American story being told with white main characters (including Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen), the movie does make a point of sending a message about the shameful fact that - unlike women in any other culture - Native American women who go missing aren't tracked or counted. ![]() ![]() ![]() A few characters are scantily clad, but no actual nudity is shown. In one scene, a man and a woman kiss passionately and lie in bed together sex is implied and mentioned. Secondary characters are shown dangerously, abusively drunk in one scene, and some characters smoke cigarettes. Language is very strong in certain scenes, with many uses of "f-k," "s-t," "a-hole," and more. There's a brutal rape scene, plus fighting, beating, and bludgeoning, lots of guns/shooting, gory dead bodies, and plenty of blood. R for strong violence, a rape, disturbing images, and language.Parents need to know that Wind River is a very violent crime/murder story set on a Native American reservation in Wyoming.
