Dawson City Frozen Time is a rather clunky and uninspiring title for a film thats both revelatory and deeply fascinating. A more evocatively poetic title. Movie review Wind River is another gem from Taylor Sheridan Movies. When we encounter a teenage girl racing for her life in moonlight at the opening of the mystery thriller Wind River, the only visible antagonist is the pitiless winter terrain. Following her barefoot run across widescreen vistas until she drops, seeing the crimson smears she leaves on the monochrome tundra, the film takes a gripping dive from pristine white landscape and into bloody shadows. The next shot showcases sheep being protected from a wolf pack by a professional animal tracker and sniper for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Marksmen assigned to pick off threats to the human population are harder to find. Full List of Inventory 12717.

Wind River is the name of Wyomings only American Indian reservation, 2. Its also the setting for a classy shocker that adds to the already impressive filmography of Taylor Sheridan. Here the screenwriter of the excellent quasi Westerns Sicario and Hell or High Water proves extremely talented on both sides of the camera. Directing his own script, he displays the cool, confident control of a seasoned veteran, assisted by an eerie, otherworldly score composed and performed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. The rifleman of the opening is Cory Lambert Jeremy Renner, who discovers the frozen body of the Native American girl in the wilds. His report triggers an investigation by the FBI to determine if her death was a homicide committed on the reservation and thereby under federal jurisdiction. Because such cases arent priorities for an agency that works on terrorism, organized crime and drug trafficking cases, the assignment goes to novice Jane Banner Elizabeth Olsen, dispatched from her Las Vegas home base. Shes smart, serious and tougher than she appears. Nonetheless, Banner nonetheless is out of her depth in more than the vast snowpack. She needs an experienced guide to help her explore the teens death. Lambert joins her probe, a decision that is morally right but mentally agonizing.

Strong and stoic as he is, beneath his Stetson and John Wayne reserve, Lambert is still grieving the death of his daughter several years before under similar circumstances. That crisis ruptured his marriage to Wilma Julia Jones, who views him with icy, polite restraint when he visits their young boy in her home. His FBI gig cuts into time hes supposed to spend with his son, and gradually we learn that he sees it as less a matter of enforcing justice than of settling personal affairs. There are fine roles for the broadly Native American supporting cast, from Kelsey Asbille as the victim seen in a flashback sequence to the ever outstanding Gil Birmingham as her devastated father, who paints a death face of mourning on his features.

In a richly layered story, Sheridan explores issues of tribalism in gender relations, within and across Indian and Anglo lines. The head of the reservations police force Graham Greene in dryly ironic form is in charge of six officers covering a territory the size of Rhode Island. He gets the same level of dismissal among his citizens that Banner receives from the private security team patrolling the central area leased by an oil company. Sometimes the hostility is expressed through rough talk, sometimes with weapons in hand. In this film, a standard police interview can turn into an armed confrontation at knuckle whitening speed. Banner, caught by disbelief just as the viewers are, is a solid audience surrogate as Sheridan uncorks shocking sequences that turn the storys character focus and timeline in unexpected directions. Sheridan forms solid drama from the battle between community law and the feral law of the frontier.

Wind River is a decent, if flawed, directorial effort from Sheridan that showcases his strength as an actors director, more than as a writer. Corey Lambert Jeremy Renner is a U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent and divorced parent who makes his living huntingkilling predators that prey on the animals and farmland of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. One day, while scoping out the wilderness in search of a lion that has been feeding on local cattle, Corey stumbles upon the frozen, bloodied and brutalized corpse of Natalie Hanson Kelsey Chow, an eighteen year old woman from the Reservation and someone who, along with her family and father Martin Gil Birmingham, is far from a stranger to Corey. Then U. S. government sends Jane Banner Elizabeth Olsen, a younger and less experienced FBI agent who is typically based in Las Vegas, to oversee the subsequent investigation of Natalies death, in cooperation with the Reservations head of police, Ben Graham Greene. However, it quickly becomes apparent to Jane that shes out of her element in the vast, frozen wilderness that is Wind River and will need all the help she can get from Corey, including his sharp tracking skills and thorough knowledge of the landscape, in her efforts to find out who was responsible for Natalies horrific death. Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner in Wind River. After examining the war against drug related violence along the U. S. Mexico border in Sicario and weaving a yarn about bank robbing brothers in economically stricken West Texas in Hell or High Water, actor turned screenwriter Taylor Sheridan explores a murder mystery on a Wyoming Native American reservation with his script for Wind River. Directing from his own screenplay this time around, Sheridans Wind River serves as a thematic conclusion to his trilogy of neo western flavored stories about the treachery of life in the new American frontiers, as well as a chance to show off what he has learned from his previous collaborations with such lauded directors as Denis Villeneuve and David Mackenzie. Wind River is a decent, if flawed, directorial effort from Sheridan that showcases his strength as an actors director, more than as a writer. Similar to his previous screenplays, Sheridans Wind River script plays out as a pulpy genre movie with more on its mind than entertainment in this case, concerns about the poor quality of life on modern Native American reservations, the high rate of disappearances and sexual assaults against Native American women, and how the U. S. government is complicit in both of those things. Sheridan keeps the central murder investigation plot thread here simple and clean, leaving himself room to weave in more substantial moments of character development and emotional drama. Although the murder mystery storyline is engaging and clever in its ultimate reveal of whodunnit, the payoff arrives a bit too suddenly and the actual mystery is likewise straightforward to a fault as telegraphed by some on the nose dialogue. Wind River struggles to subvert the conventions of its genre, in this respect. Elizabeth Olsen and Graham Greene in Wind River. As a whole, Wind River has many of the same strengths and weakness as Sheridans previous work. Like Sicario and Hell or High Water, Wind River paints its Wyoming setting which was, in reality, primarily filmed in Utah as being a rugged and destitute world that is the result of larger, systematic problems in the U. S. However, unlike Hell or High Water in particular, Wind River has less success providing meaningful social commentary through its B movie storytelling and instead, winds up referencing modern day socialpolitical concerns without having as much to say about them. Part of the problem with that lies in the framing of the story, which presents the Native American characters as victims who are strong and capable, but are mostly robbed of their agency and left to watch from the sides as the movies white male protagonist and to a lesser degree, white female protagonist saves the day. While Wind Rivers leads come off as archetypical to the point of being stereotypical for this reason, they gain some depth thanks to the actors bringing them to life. Sheridans background as an actor served him well here, judging by the strong performances he gets from Jeremy Renner as Corey Lambert a modern day gunslinger, complete with a tortured backstory and Renners fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Elizabeth Olsen as Jane Banner, the idealistic and determined but inexperienced federal agent in this crime tale. Jane is a more active player here than Emily Blunts FBI agent was in Sicario, but similarly ends up being sidelined more than necessary, for the purposes of the story being told. Renner and Olsens mismatched partners do enjoy a nice chemistry with Graham Greene as Ben, the reservations practical and charismatic head of police who has a fitting sense of gallows humor, as well as Hell or High Waters Gil Birmingham as Natalies father, Martin Hanson. Jeremy Renner in Wind River. Sheridans directorial methods here bring to mind Mac. Kenzies style more than Villeneuves, in terms of his previous collaborators. Wind River nicely captures the chilling temperatures and isolated feeling of its setting through the cinematography by Ben Richardson Beasts of the Southern Wild, but lacks the visual poetry and rich, painterly imagery found in both Sicario and Hell or High Water. Sequencing is another issue here too, as the handful of action scenes and suspense driven situations featured here are serviceable, yet otherwise unmemorable and somewhat flat in terms of their execution. Wheres Sheridan is apt at handling grisly and disturbing subject matter as a screenwriter, his attempts to be raw and gritty with his direction are more heavy handed including, his use of another haunting rustic score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. On the whole, Sheridan proves himself to be a competent director on Wind River just one with much room for improvement. Despite having the same shortcomings as Sicario and Hell or High Water and then some, Wind River is a worthy thematic conclusion to Sheridans trifecta of stories about crime and the law, set against the backdrop of three different modern day equivalents to the Old West. The movie likewise has much more dramatic heft and more to say about the state of the world than your average B movie does, thanks to its strong performances and politically charged storyline. Wind River isnt a must see for cinemaphiles the way that Sheridans previous scripted efforts were and its awards seasons prospects are more questionable for it, but its certainly worth checking out for those filmgoers who enjoyed the actorwriterdirectors previous crime thrillers.
