Thriller from the creator of Yellowstone gets under your skin in many different waysWind River combines slow tension with dramatically touching fates. In his stories, Taylor Sheridan likes to look at the Border areas of the USA
and the mythological significance of America’s external borders. He always links stylistic devices of modern westerns with a social and political context.
Wind River is also a film that pushes the actual crime more and more into the background. In addition, Sheridan tells more about the Tensions and grievances of an Americawhich reveals deep scars when dealing with one’s own history and dealing with one’s indigenous people.
When Jeremy Renner’s character meets the father of the murdered Natalie, for example, Wind River devotes a few, but all the more haunting, scenes to two men who are fatefully linked and who have to grapple with the loss of their child. The film thus becomes a larger examination of social conditions that have emotional outbursts show on a small scale.
Wind River also works as straightforward neo-noir westernwhich captivates with its icy atmosphere, the mysterious murderer hunt and the gruesomely described details. At some point the bloodbath is almost unavoidable, but the most haunting thing is the silence with which Wind River ends in the last minutes.
