Wind River, the “impressive” crime thriller from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, has landed a new streaming home in the UK. Written and directed by Sheridan, the film stars Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.
Released in 2017, the film follows Renner as Cory Lambert, a wildlife officer who discovers the body of an 18-year-old woman on a Native American Reservation in Wyoming.
After an autopsy report confirms that the woman was raped, Olsen’s FBI agent Jane Banner arrives to investigate, teaming up with Lambert as the pair try to solve the crime.
The logline reads: “A chilling murder mystery set in the icy backwoods of a Native American Reservation, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.”
Joining Olsen and Renner on the cast are stars including Jon Bernthal, Martin Sensmeier, Gil Birmingham and Kelsey Asbille.
Wind River was added to Prime Video today, meaning UK fans of Sheridan’s work can stream it now.
Popular among critics, the film has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 87% from 250 reviews, with many praising Sheridan directorial debut.
“Bundle up: Wind River will blow you away,” penned The Detroit News, while The Hollywood Reporter called it “a strong directorial debut”.
“Wind River is an impressive effort and an impressive result that opens up a world that most of us have never thought about and renders it with sorrow and vividness,” wrote The San Francisco Chronicle.

Empire Magazine said of the film: “Taylor Sheridan’s flair for creating heartland epics is undimmed, but it’s hard not to wonder what someone with more directing chops, and the will to hit the accelerator, would have done with it.”
“The mood is tense, the characters are well-drawn and director-screenwriter Taylor Sheridan has crafted some of the best dialogue of any movie this year,” said The Wrap.
Meanwhile, The Spectator wrote: “I won’t bore on here, even though it’s my inclination, but will say that while Sheridan’s intentions were undoubtedly noble, this makes the whole enterprise feel cheaply mainstream and exploitative.”
Wind River is streaming now on Prime Video.
