Film Comment Magazine

Wind River ultimately aims to be an existential survival movie, but that aim is rarely true.

Sheridan ends his story brilliantly, the last ten minutes a startling display of emotional elasticity that left me flabbergasted.

Rated: 3/4

Most of the dialogue would look good on a series of commemorative tea towels. It certainly doesn't belong on the lips of an actor as gifted as Renner.

Wind River is a well crafted, but straightforward, thriller with an interesting setting and social context.

Keith & the Movies

Sheridan’s direction matches his screenwriting – steady and assured. His knack for pacing keeps the story bumping along all while building tension and fleshing out his characters.

Rated: 4/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Through every snowflake and gunshot, Taylor Sheridan cuts to the marrow and keeps "Wind River" firmly on track with its layered stages of discovery.

Amazing movie. Plot and acting all top. EXCEPT the sound editing was terrible. Every conversation at a whisper tone level and every scene with snow mobiles, wind, backing music and most scenes without verbal communication was overpoweringly loud. After mid movie i had to change the volume every scene. No not sound settings in my TV just terrible editing. Surprised Taylor Sheridan allowed it and on that note why is the character Taylor Sheridan plays BIA agent 2 listed as Daniel Tussuieau rather than Taylor Sheridan? Great movie but sound issues made difficult to enjoy.

É um filme policial sem nada de especial para se comentar. Atuações medianas para um roteiro mediano. A montagem deixa a desejar no fim quando dá um corte no climax para explicar a situação.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
