Taylor Sheridan could be a massive name now (with his plethora of programs on Paramount +), but he has made as many brands on the big screen as on television. After leaving the cast of “Sons of Anarchy” ,, “ Sheridan turned to writing and projected an absolute banger in the form of “Sicario”, a scenario which was then put for life by director Denis Villeneuve, catapulting the two quarries in the stratosphere. A few years later, Sheridan made the jump to direct one of his own scripts when he supervised the thriller led by Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, “Wind River”.

The film features Olsen in the role of Jane Banner, an agent of the FBI who goes to the Indian reserve of Wind River to resolve the case of the murder of one of its inhabitants. Jeremy Renner as Cory Lambert, who discovers the frozen body of the victim, is as Cory Lambert, who discovers the frozen body of the victim and is investigated to undermine the killers in court. As it stands, “Wind River” is always one of the best films in SheridanProvising that he could make a film as well as he could write one. However, Sheridan had strict stipulations which were to be satisfied before he officially set up the project. These requests were not only for its own advantage either. Rather, he knew that the real Amerindian community counted on him to be respectful with regard to their representation.

Talk to Interview magazine About the film in 2017, Sheridan recalled that he always had an eye on “Wind River” being his real first feature film as director (even if He had called the gunshots on a horror film Years earlier), if only because he wanted to make sure that the sensitive subject of the film was approached in an appropriate manner. “I always knew that this one I would direct. I would prefer that it is not done that to be done with another director,” he explained.

The message that resonates throughout the film is how neglected the Amerindian women is neglected with regard to the cases of missing people. As the film rightly says in its last moments, “although the statistics of the missing people are compiled for all the other demographic, none exists for the Amerindian women”. It is this detail, with the modern Native American reservation culture as a whole, that Sheridan was determined to highlight. As he noted:

“There are countless directors better than me – this is the first time that I do it on this scale – but I knew that if I did, it would be done exactly as I promised my friends on the resolution, it would be done and that the vision would not be diluted and the message would not change. It was more important to me.”

This dedication is reflected in a film that has acquired critical praise And enough at the box office to even justify a suite. It is also this level of authenticity that continued in the “Yellowstone” saga, a world of the Sheridan’s own manufacture where it is rightly authorized to call the gunshots itself.
