Wind River Ratings & Reviews
- N8October 10, 2024Wind River is a truly compelling crime story. The script is smartly written, and the performances are all excellent, especially Elizabeth Olsen's. This is arguably her most powerful and nuanced work since Martha Marcy May Marlene. Taylor Sheridan, known for writing impressive screenplays like Sicario and Hell or High Water, delivers a striking directorial debut with Wind River. He masterfully crafts a tense and atmospheric thriller that keeps you hooked until the very end. I'm eager to see what he does next, as he's clearly a rising force in cinema. One of the things I appreciated most about "Wind River" is that it avoids the typical serial killer trope. Instead, the film explores a tragic set of circumstances fueled by poor choices and the harsh realities of life on a Native American reservation. There's no elaborate conspiracy, no shadowy figure stalking the protagonists, just a raw and deeply unsettling depiction of how desperation and systemic issues can intersect with devastating consequences. This approach effectively highlights the true nature of the problem: it's not about a few inherently evil individuals, but rather a multitude of challenges faced by the community. Poverty, isolation, lack of resources, and historical trauma all contribute to an environment where violence can easily erupt. Wind River doesn't shy away from portraying these complexities, making it a powerful and thought-provoking film.

- EmApril 20, 2025Wind River evokes Fargo’s bleak, snow‑cloaked suspense with powerful performances and haunting landscapes, even if its pacing occasionally dips.
- zayahaAugust 18, 2025The best of all the rest
- StairwaytothestarsAugust 2, 2025Good acting, great atmosphere, and Elizabeth Olsen plays a no-nonsense detective that is sharper than you think, and this is refreshing to see. The movie begins with a beautiful wolf being shot and killed, that I felt was unnecessary. I am sick and tired of writers and directors using animals as a ploy for shock value! I wish it would stop because this is far from entertainment for an animal lover.
