Review of Wind River (2017) by Filmsnob — 05 Nov 2017

I saw this film on a weekday, matinee, and there were only 2 other people in the theatre. At the end I really really wanted to give it a standing ovation but thought I might look a bit silly. What a well acted, suspenseful, socially relevant film.

I wasn't quite sure whether Elizabeth Olsen was quite right for her role but warmed up to her a bit more as it played out. Jeremy Renner is perfect-the role is made for him. Beautiful cinematography & direction.

Any minor issues I had with the film are just too minor to mention. Overall a must-see, even though the trailer may not motivate, force yourself. If you are disappointed, let me know. I'd be very surprised.
