one of the best films I've seen in years

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2017)

I don't follow directors but I will look for more of this director's movies. Wind River is superb, from the story to the acting to the cinematography. A truly powerful story that manages to convey the helplessness and hopelessness of the Native American people without sounding preachy or arrogant. Renner, Olsen, Bernthal and especially Green deliver the most spectacular performances. These are damaged people struggling with life and trying to keep moving forward after heartbreaking losses. Throughout the investigation you get the sense you know what happened but there are enough twists to keep the suspense building until the end. Really well done.
