Good movie...The main character did a good acting job. The character of the FBI person just didn't fit in with the film. You don't nessecary have to have a female character in a show to make it the show good. Her part was, how should I say, unrealistic. One or two people in previous reviews complained that the talking was to low. They must have a hearing problem or just use to all the loud noise some other films seem to have these days. Worth seeing.

Wake up Canada, this is all too true. We, as opposed to the current situation in the US, currently track the thousands of missing Native American women in our country. We need to do better to end the slaughter. An excellent portrayal overall.

PEOPLE, GO SEE THIS MOVIE! DON'T LISTEN TO THE IMATURE COWARDS THAT HIDE, AND THEN GIVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, THEIR FOOLS. THEY HAVE NO LIFE, SO THIER BITTER AND NEGATIVE! THIS FILM ISN'T A ''COMEDY''IT IS A DRAMA BASED ON A SAD, BUT TRUE STORY.

If you're looking for a date movie, skip it. If you're looking for an action movie, skip it. Mystery? Skip. Drama? Skip. If you looking for a movie that wastes two hours of your life and leaves you depressed, then you're in luck. This movie is bad on so many levels, I'm not sure where to even start. The five star reviews are by trolls, pay them no heed. It's about getting the rubes into the seats.

“Wind River” is a film about missing and murdered indigenous women. This very real issue is handled with sensitivity and insight. It takes place on a very small, remote reserve in Wyoming where homes are few and far between. In reality this could have actually taken place on any sized reserve, anywhere in North America. The wintery, mountainous scenery and cinematography are spectacular at times but life and the conditions in these communities can still be harsh where young people have few opportunities.
What is sad is that there aren’t accurate statistics on the actual number of first nation women who have gone missing or who have been murdered. Even more troubling is that many of these cases have never been fully investigated or solved. As this film does touches upon, a lot of reserves do have their own police force, but they don’t have the manpower or the training to investigate these types of crimes. At the same time, outsiders are not always welcomed because of distrust and past injustices suffered. In some instances the perpetrator is known but the law enforcers cannot do anything about it.
The director/writer and producers deserve kudos for making such a film. Unfortunately what I found really annoying, distracting and almost funny was that every single indigenous actor (plus a few non indigenous actors playing the role of a native) was from a different band! It is like making a film about the Japanese, where every actor is from a different Asian country.
Despite the flaws, this is an important film to see, just to get a better understanding of why something must be done!

Very engrossing, acting superb, cinematography was so beautiful we felt chilly just watching it. Tired of "superhero" and/or "over the top special effect" movies, so this one stood out. Would see again.

Theatre was empty, the sound was very low and sometimes inaudible, and the acting and screenplay plodding. Yeah, life sucks sometimes, but it sucks more when you're constantly reminded. This movie is depressing and I wonder why I sat through it.
