Wind river (2017)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2017
Director: Taylor Sheridan
Actors: Jeremy Renner, Elisabeth Olsen, Kesley Asbille
Country: GB, CDN, USA
Genre: Thriller, Drama
Conditions of visioning: 11.12.2017, Schauburg, OV Sneak Preview, English with German subtitle
Synopsis: Cory Lambert (Renner) is a veteran tracker with the Fish and Wildlife Service in a remote region of Wyoming. He helps FBI agent Jane Banner (Olsen) to investigate the murder of a young Native American woman Natalie (Asbille).
Review: The fact that the story shows a bit of the discrimination from white people against native people in North America is a major originality. On the other side, Natives are presented as passive when not fully drunk and not active to solve their problem. Few white people are kind with them and really help them. Jeremy Renner's character and indirectly Olsen's character, probably because she is supposed to be kind of enloved in Cory Lambert. I wish a cathartic story and movie for the Native Americans!
I liked the usage of snow-mobil, the hunting scenes in the middle of the snow and I loved the snowy scenery in the mountains. The camera following the snow-mobil in the valley is amazing. Thanks to the drones! Because the image is good, some posters are also great.
The acting is ok. I learned afterwards that both actors are also together in some Avengers movies.
Rating: 5 /10

  1. Seems nice. Oh yeah the first thing I noticed is the couple Renner / Olsen already together in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War.
