Wind River - Avaliações

’Wind River’ er en vellykket anti-western om at håndtere smerte, og om hård retfærdighed af den slags man ikke får gennem de officielle, lovmæssige kanaler.

“Wind River” is a stark and beautiful and haunting 21st century Western thriller, filled with memorable visuals and poetic dialogue — and scenes of sudden, shocking, brutal violence.

...is a violent, tense thriller, sparse and well paced...

...den tidligere skuespiller Taylor Sheridan er en gudsbenådet dramatiker. Små detaljer er ladet med betydning, og gang på gang tager den ellers nærmest begivenhedsløse efterforskning en uventet drejning.

...may be steeped in the real agony of American experience, of the country’s most marginalized, but it still feels like a return to a place more mythic: the sprawling outlaw frontier of Taylor Sheridan’s imagination.

Wind River vividly recreates the bleak, impoverished feel of a real-life reservation where life is tough and the people that little bit tougher.

Sheridan exhibits a sure hand as a director, especially when it comes to action sequences, and 'Wind River' underscores his place as a filmmaker to watch.

...may not blow you away, but this bitter, visceral, and almost parodically intense thriller knows what it takes to survive.

...confirms the director as a rising talent who can be trusted to beat his own enticing path through inhospitable ground.

...his storytelling is meaty but efficient, and his pacing moves along at a steadily engrossing clip before ultimately exploding in a startling blast of violence.
