Review of Wind River (2017) by Tommonday — 09 Dec 2022
A pathetic exploitation film masquerading as a important drama about issues. Almost laughed out loud at the “Mexican standoff” – where a dozen people draw their guns without firing. So fake – a rich screenwriter’s gritty vision of reality.
Filled with ponderous ambient music and portentous monologues about nothing, the movie goes nowhere quick, unable to generate any momentum for its murder mystery. By the time we find out what happens, dumb movie has the gall to slap us in the face with an unearned rape scene.
Even the impressive locations shots can’t save this waste of time.
