We just saw it. I really liked it. A bit brutal for some I guess, but I would watch it again,

Not as "brutal" as either of those.

Subject matter of the death of a young Indian Girl on the reservation, and the bleakness/sadness of it all,

I do not like a lot of movies these days, but it is pretty well done.

Thanks for the tip and heads up. We just finished watching. We enjoyed the movie very much. Good people and very well written and acted.
 
I saw it in the theater and liked it so much that I pre-ordered the dvd release. I found it to be far more realistic than the vast majority of films out there. I think it is by far among the very best of films that have been released in recent years. My only complaint, and it is a minor one that I can easily dismiss for the sake of the story, is that I have spent a lot of time near drill rigs and have never seen security anywhere near that heavily armed, even in high drug traffic areas along the Rio Grande.

If you liked it, I highly recommend Hell or High Water with Jeff Bridges as a Texas Ranger investigating a string of bank robberies in West Texas. The writer / director of Wind River, Taylor Sheridan, also wrote Hell or High Water and patterned Jeff Bridges' character after one of his relatives, McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara, a retired US Marshal.

Watched it last night.

Nice to see the 45-70 in action. He loaded his own rounds and it's a Marlin SBL, so you know he was making Marlin level loads - 420g bullets @ 1800fps. That's how I make them for mine.

I got a thrill out of how they punched through whatever was in front of the BG's.

Well done movie. I could have done without the draw ropes pulling folks when they got hit, making it seem like a Mack truck hit them, but it was fun to see those that deserved it getting it.

Mine is the blue version, a GBL.

"...wolves don't kill unlucky deer." Good movie. Really good.
 
To repeat a posting earlier on this forum,
the writer is Taylor Sheridan, who also did
Sicario and Hell or High Water.

He played Deputy Hale for a couple seasons
of Sons of Anarchy.

Another writer/director to watch out for is
Brian Helgeland, who wrote screenplay for
LA Confidential and among his other credits
Payback Straight Up, A Knights Tale and Legend.

I liked both those movies also and as I said before not many good films out there anymore (at least new ones I have not seen)

No one has an original idea, all these remakes are ridiculous.
