Interesting enough, but oh the slow pacing...

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2018)

Seeing the trailer to 'Wind River' I wasn't really interested in seeing the film, as it seemed boring. Then I read about critics raving about the film and decided to give it the benefit of the doubt.
This is indeed a very well made film and a very stylish thriller, with beautiful cinematography. However, my instincts were right: I found the film dreary. Not that it wasn't interesting, but the pacing was just too slow. At times I could hardly hear what some of the actors were saying, especially Jeremy Renner. Kelsey Asbille (playing FBI agent Natalie) was the only fish out of water in the harsh territory the film is set in, and she was by far the most determined and strongest character.
The film also made me realize how every moment can be your last. The back flashes of the doomed couple were the film's best moments, until the final moment when I literally cheered the antagonist's fate!
