Wind River | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

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

Wind River has the tonal sparsity of a Cormac McCarthy novel, the moral justice of a revisionist Western, and hits many beats that a detective procedural might.

What can pass as a standard murder-mystery instead becomes a remarkably complex exploration of various malaises, including the agony of familial loss, the systematic disenfranchisement of Native Americans, and the ever-present evil of toxic masculinity.
