Wind River (2017)


95%
Wind River - Taylor Sheridan
Drama / Mystery & Suspense - R - 2017

Wind River is an absolutely chilling thriller that follows a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) and local game hunter and community member (Jeremy Renner) as they race to solve the murder of a local girl on a remote Native American Reservation. 

If you are in need of a good murder-mystery, Wind River is a fantastic delve into the genre. I first viewed this film after finishing season one of The Killing on Netflix, (which I highly recommend) so I was quite excited about a new crime-drama-mystery. This movie takes a brutal event and multiplies it by ten with its desolate snow-filled setting. Solid performances by Renner and Olsen as they uncover the untimely fate of a young girl living on the reservation. One of my favorite films of 2017, probably only second to Three Billboards, Wind River drew me in from the start and didn't let go until the end. I have only watched it once, but it captivated me so much, that I have been desperately meaning to watch it a second time. If you are into this genre and have not seen this riveting film, definitely check it out. I recommend watching it without your phone in the vicinity, so you can really focus on the essence of the story.
