Watch Wind River For Free

Best movie ever!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

What a powerful, hard hitting and beautifuly crafted piece of cinema! Pigeon holed into a genre where it far surpasses its contemporaries! Skillfully filmed, superbly acted and extremely well written. I can not recommend this film enough! So much better than the mainstream generic movies that Hollywood gives us these days, no super heroes or guaranteed sequels 'just' an original and powerful story.

Fantastically structured and slow building tensity similar to its 'Frontier' trilogy films the subtlety in this piece is remarkable. Toned down in comparison to Sicario and Hell or High Water this film has shades of Tarantino and is in its own right action packed and thrilling. Emotional, brilliantly cast and perhaps socially significant its arguably the peak of the trilogy, worth your time regardless

One review noted how bad the sound was. I could not hear much of anything in the first ten minutes. I kept turning the sound up and then a gun would go off and hurt my ears. This was such a hassle that I turned on the subtitles & left the sound alone. This was a serious technical flaw that is surprising today. I thought it was a very good movie until the standoff at the drilling site. The gun fight made almost no sense and it seemed pointless to kill so many people. The scene could have involved fewer people and been menacing and very tight. The big opportunity missed was when Renner's character tracked down the killer, Pete, and got him to confess. When he let him go to walk barefoot in the snow, the ending would have been a lot more satisfactory if Pete had collapsed and the last thing he saw was the mountain lion and her cubs fixing to have dinner.I gave this seven stars because the critical moment was too lame, too Hollywood, and not effective. The sound track was terrible and there is no excuse for that.If sound had been better and that scene at the oil rig had been tightened up and more realistic I might have been given this eight stars. If the lions had gotten to feed on Pete, it would earn nine.

The setting is the star, but that is not a knock. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie: superior acting, directing, cinematography. Plus a compelling story.
