Wind River

Wind River came out of nowhere, especially if we look at its director, whose 2011 debut was a typical torture/porn film. Don't expect Wind River to be anything like that, though. It’s a thriller with limited action, but plenty of soul.

Depicting the aftermath of a girl's death, Wind River sent the same shivers down the spine as Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. In addition to exploring the psyches of its main characters, it showed what it means to live on the border, where unforgiving, perpetual winter is the only thing that brings isolated communities together.

The writer/director's intentions became clear as the film progressed. While some who reduced it to just another film about a white savior might have been offended, we believe that the majority saw Wind River as it was intended. That is, with such a backdrop, did color really exist?

We have to add that we’d like to see more of Jeremy Renner in the future, and in movies outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has to be one of his generation’s most underrated actors.
