Coming from writing the likes of Sicario and Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan is really making a career for himself. Gritty, brutal, and well-timed action, Wind River builds a simply structured crime film into an important conversation about missing persons with a great storyteller and one great cast. Wind River takes the genre up in the cold, snowy tundra of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. Crime dramas have always been one of my favorite genres of filmmaking, especially the ones that take themselves seriously and pose interesting questions about life.
