Director & Screenwriter: Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or High Water)

The first reviews from Sundance unfortunately aren't as good as those from Sheridans first two movies Sicario and Hell or High Water.

Very interested in this one.

Eh, sounds pretty interesting to me as well. Of course the synopsis could have read, "An FBI agent teams with the town's veteran game tracker to investigate several species of daffodils on a Native American reservation" and it still would have sounded interesting to me

I hated both Sicario and Hell or High Water, so needless to say, I think I'm not a big fan of Sheridan's writing.

I also really dislike Renner.

But I'll still likely see this film, with very limited expectations, in order to have an informed opinion.

How someone could hate Sicario is beyond me.

Anyhow, I'm totally in for this. Sheridan has the goods, and I like both Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. Actually, Olsen's just spectacular. I'm really looking forward to this.

Count me in. I've enjoyed both Sicario and Hell or High Water.

Had a feeling this wouldn't get great reviews. Established writers tend to struggle transitioning to fully fledged filmmakers for some reason. I hope the critics are wrong on this one.

Buscemi · 01-24-2017, 07:33 AM

Sicario was basically an ultra-violent episode of The Bridge (which handled the US/Mexico border premise two years earlier and a lot better) with an unbelievable Emily Blunt while Hell or High Water's main flaw is Jeff Bridges' character (he's a racist and unlikable character that we are supposed to sympathize with but it just does not work).

And I figured this film wasn't very good after Weinstein dropped it.

It's doing just fine with critics, Foggy.

87% on Rotten.

Sicario is the second best movie of this century. That's how I feel about it.

jacobsever · 05-25-2017, 04:03 PM

That trailer just reminds me how much I hate Jeremy Renner's face. I just want to punch it.

AaronJ · 05-25-2017, 06:14 PM

Damn this looks so good.

The fact that she didn't get an Oscar nomination for Martha Marcy May Marlene is a freakin' crime against humanity.

Sheridan won Best director at Cannes for his work here.

ArmyOfDarknessAW · 07-18-2017, 11:32 AM

I watched the 2nd trailer last night and I really feel this will be near the top of my list by years end. HoHW and Sicario were two of my favorites of their respective years so I already know I love Taylor Sheridan's writing. Curious to see how he does behind the camera.

MazeRunner · 07-27-2017, 01:41 PM

Finally saw the trailer for this in front of Dunkirk. Sitting up close and seeing "a rape" in the rating description made me cringe. I hope it's not too graphic. So what's the release going to be with this? Wide on August 4th? Or limited and slow rolled out?

MEB · 08-14-2017, 04:02 AM

'Wind River' is playing at a single theater in our area. If it's available in your area, do yourself a favor and go see it! The unfolding story is a real edge-of-the-seat thriller. I believe Renner will be nominated for Best Actor for this role. Yes, he's that good.

HIGHLY recommended. The Booth Bijou gives 'Wind River' 5 out of 5 stars. We will most definitely be showing this in the Booth Bijou Garage Theater when the Blu-ray is released.

BTW, our showing was pretty much sold out and the audience applauded at the end of the film.
