wind river


WIND RIVER is the best movie I've seen in several years. It's a two-handkerchief  murder investigation set on a reservation, and if you can't stand violence, this is not your film. 

Like most good movies, this one is about several things at once. including the brutality against tribal women that goes almost unnoticed. But what it's really about, what gets you, is that it's about how to cope with loss. Every one of us has to cope with loss and nearly unbearable sadness, which makes the topic universal. 

The female lead (hard-shooting FBI agent) is played ably by a sister of the Olsen Twins!
