Movie Wind River

[Frank Bunn]

Saw Wind River last night, my favourite movie of the year.

Was a very intense story line and for the most part was quite depressing. I haven't been the biggest fan of Renner in the past, but he was fantastic in this role. Would highly recommend seeing it.

8.5/10

Wind River

Not on the level of Sicario and Hell or High Water but Sheridan's penchant for dark, neo-western storytelling is still a sight to behold. The end is a real high, I guess I just wish the road there was more tense.

Wind River - an hour since I got out of the cinema and I still feel cold. The landscape is just immersive and beautifully filmed. The directorial debut of Taylor Sheridan, who was the screenwriter for Sicario and Hell or High Water (he also wrote this). While it mightn't quite be of the same quality as those two (excellent) films, it isn't too far behind. A tense thriller that tells a troubling story well. Perhaps a little bit too straightforward, it's so well crafted it's easy to forgive it.

Deserves its own thread. Best movie of 2017 so far for mine.

Fantastic movie. Best of 2017 for me too.... except I've only seen five movies released this year (Alien, Big Sick, Get Out and Dunkirk).

Rewatched it today. The characters are so well crafted and performed. The Wyoming landscape is an amazing backdrop. The pacing is spot on with poignant moments seamlessly blended with action.
