Don't know that name but I do like Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene. Should be beautiful being set in Wyoming.

The story is either true or based on actual events. When the synopsis of FBI Agent pursues murder on Indain Reservation, some cliches may come to mind. Whatever similar tones or concepts come up, Wind River leaves all that in the dust. The entire cast of Wind River seems to be selected flawlessly. Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene also worked together in a little show called Dances With Wolves. And after further thought, recalled that Olsen and Renner also worked on Comic Verse films. For Oscar consideration, only Supporting Actress category lacks a valid nominee - merely due to the lack of meat or size of the roles in the story. I would be very satisfied if Wind River was nominated in many categories. The nuances and subtleties impressed me. And if the pace seems to be slowing, pay attention. I also wondered if my familiarity with cool air, snowmobiles made me more comfortable with the storytelling. I am curious if other viewers not as familiar with these situations can relate as well to the story. I can only recall one item which seemed unexplained, and I'll have to review it later. Everything else was wrapped up well.

Another reviewer equated it to Jeremiah Johnson, and I agree. The cinematography was breathtaking. Jeremy Renner does a "Hurt Locker" type performance and shows why he is sought after as an actor. Elizabeth Olson also delivers a solid supporting role as the FBI agent who may be in over her head. This film is well written and solidly cast, everyone does a good job. I'm going to keep an eye out for the director, Taylor Sheridan (who also wrote the screenplay for Hell or High Water, 2016), this guy has skills. There is one small thing, the volume/sound on the voices is rather low (I had to watch a second time with my earbuds on my laptop because I missed some of the dialogue) other than that, this was an excellent film that was thought provoking with some action. I highly recommend it. SGG

Quote:I'm thinking that you, SGG, are a city guy, or nearly so. So I'll ask: are you aware of the more reserved nature, maybe taciturn mode of these rural guys? All of them snickering at the Feeb, her desk ways, the FBI Bureaucratic methods, the lack of "Street sense" and her dogged determination to waste her efforts, instead of using their expertise to solve things? F&WS guy wants to help her, but he's not going to spoon-feed her, and she ignores his offers to help get her focused and straightened out. If you have a chance to watch it again, see if you can tell the silent tug of war between their levels of conversation, action, authority, and acumen. He wants to help the fish out of water, but she's stubborn. This layering of interaction and exchange was really done well. Amazing. Reminds me of Fargo, as well. I was thinking Olsen was Lead Actress. Did the scoring feel familiar?

I wanted to see it a second time in cinema, partly to revel in its Majesty. But could not find it showing again. Looks like now I should be able to find a DVD and watch again. I will try to check it and compare the sound with what I recall. I had really hoped more cinema fans would have seen this one on the big screen, largely why I started this thread. You can't say I didn't try to spread the word.

Plus, I would think that the reputation of a director proceeds the script. What I mean is: a director's track record comes into play here as well. So, if they like the screenwriter and the director, makes them consider a particular project. Imagine if Robert Zemeckis comes up to you as an actor and says: "I got the rights to this book, Forrest Gump, and we got Tom Hanks to commit to it." If I remember correctly, I heard that Hanks believed in this film so much that he, instead of a big upfront payday, accepted a percentage of the film's gross profits. I looked it up and found this: "Hanks walked away with an estimated $70M" compare that to the $10-15M that an actor of his caliber would get in those days (1990s). Nicholson got $50M for Batman (he was paid an upfront amount of $6M). Smart move. The biggest payday for an actor..........you'll never guess, I was surprised, I thought it was Hanks. Keanu Reeves for Matrix Reloaded, a whopping $126M. Keanu's story of film profit is beyond interesting, this while I was researching this aspect of movie production and actor influence. SGG

SGGI forget which film, but Ahnold had a creative recompense package, including giving him a Gulfstream Jet to keep. Regarding track records of Directors and Scriptwriters - a lot of that is hit or miss, it seems. And keep in mind, film hits the cinema up to 2 years after filming wraps. Filming lasts months at least. Casting is months before that. Script sampling well before that. So what Director released last is several years before the script you are reading will be released - not a very tight feedback loop. I haven't looked up the writer or director for Wind River - have you? What had they done before Renner & Olsen likely read the script?

Is she selecting these, her agent, or luck? The script alone could not have revealed how well it would turn out. The performances, the scoring, the cinematography, the pacing, the transitions and editing, all complementing each other. The story is either true or based on actual events. When the synopsis of FBI Agent pursues murder on Indain Reservation, some cliches may come to mind. Whatever similar tones or concepts come up, Wind River leaves all that in the dust. The entire cast of Wind River seems to be selected flawlessly. Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene also worked together in a little show called Dances With Wolves. And after further thought, recalled that Olsen and Renner also worked on Comic Verse films. For Oscar consideration, only Supporting Actress category lacks a valid nominee - merely due to the lack of meat or size of the roles in the story. I would be very satisfied if Wind River was nominated in many categories. The nuances and subtleties impressed me. And if the pace seems to be slowing, pay attention. I also wondered if my familiarity with cool air, snowmobiles made me more comfortable with the storytelling. I am curious if other viewers not as familiar with these situations can relate as well to the story. I can only recall one item which seemed unexplained, and I'll have to review it later. Everything else was wrapped up well.Just finished seeing it, here's my short review. Yes, a solid murder mystery that tells a real, but sad story. Another reviewer equated it to Jeremiah Johnson, and I agree. The cinematography was breathtaking. Jeremy Renner does a "Hurt Locker" type performance and shows why he is sought after as an actor. Elizabeth Olson also delivers a solid supporting role as the FBI agent who may be in over her head. This film is well written and solidly cast, everyone does a good job. I'm going to keep an eye out for the director, Taylor Sheridan (who also wrote the screenplay for Hell or High Water, 2016), this guy has skills. There is one small thing, the volume/sound on the voices is rather low (I had to watch a second time with my earbuds on my laptop because I missed some of the dialogue) other than that, this was an excellent film that was thought provoking with some action. I highly recommend it. SGGI really should have stated that the sound nuances fared well in cinema. I didn't think to mention iI just think that in the transfer from BIG screen to small screen, something got lost in the translation in the mass production. One other consumer on Amazon found that it was also present in the Blu-Ray. Could have been a glitch in the sound mixing, because I heard everything else just fine, it was mainly the dialogue that suffered and needed to be cranked up to 11. SGGThat would be a royal bummer if the sound is hosed on the DVD. I wanted to see it a second time in cinema, partly to revel in its Majesty. But could not find it showing again. Looks like now I should be able to find a DVD and watch again. I will try to check it and compare the sound with what I recall. I had really hoped more cinema fans would have seen this one on the big screen, largely why I started this thread. You can't say I didn't try to spread the word.

There must be a line for it.

There must be a line for it. At my libraries they can tell me how far down on the list I am. On Thanksgiving there was a hold list of 48 people at one branch.

Don't know that name but I do like Tantoo Cardinal and Graham Greene. Should be beautiful being set in Wyoming.Lots of snow. You could make yourself to home. And Jeremy Renner does a very good job of not showboating, just playing the roles straight, solid, down-to-earth. Except when he must be a superhero.

G is now Captain Crunch and brenda is BRENDA. I saw Wind River, it is now on Netflix. Had not heard of it or even seen this thread until a couple weeks ago, but I gave up on movies in the theater last year. Decent movie, but I liked Renner to beginner. I'll check out Longmire, Moose.
