The crime thriller Wind River, created by Taylor Sheridan – the mind behind Yellowstone – is now available on a new streaming service in the UK. The film, which was written and directed by Sheridan, features Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner in leading roles.

The 2017 film stars Jeremy Renner as Cory Lambert, a wildlife officer in Wyoming. He finds the body of an 18-year-old woman while working on a Native American Reservation.

With the autopsy confirming a sexual assault, FBI Agent Jane Banner, played by Olsen, arrives to investigate the crime and works alongside Lambert to find the perpetrator.

This suspenseful thriller follows a murder investigation in the remote, snow-covered wilderness of a Native American reservation, featuring Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.

The cast also includes Jon Bernthal, Martin Sensmeier, Gil Birmingham, and Kelsey Asbille, alongside Olsen and Renner.

Wind River was added to Prime Video today, meaning UK fans of Sheridan’s work can stream it now.

Critics generally loved the film, giving it an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 250 reviews. Many reviewers particularly highlighted the impressive directorial debut of Sheridan.

Reviewers praised the film Wind River. The Detroit News said it was breathtaking, and The Hollywood Reporter highlighted it as an impressive first film for the director.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Wind River is a powerful and moving film that offers a glimpse into a world many people rarely consider, portraying it with both sadness and striking detail.

According to Empire Magazine, Taylor Sheridan still excels at making sweeping stories about American life, but the film could have been even better with a more dynamic director who was willing to speed things up.

According to The Wrap, the film is filled with tension, features compelling characters, and boasts exceptionally well-written dialogue – some of the best seen in movies this year.

In a review, The Spectator noted that while Richard Sheridan’s goals were good, the final product felt overly commercial and used a sensitive topic for profit. The reviewer admitted to wanting to discuss the matter further but refrained from doing so.

Wind River is streaming now on Prime Video.
