Before creating the “Yellowstone” empire that now dominates television, Taylor Sheridan was writing and directing some of the best movies of the 2010s. Sheridan’s work during this period includes “Wind River,” a thoughtful and visually stunning mystery thriller movie that explores a twisting murder investigation in the frozen wilds of Wyoming.
Released in 2017, this gripping movie was an instant critical darling and a modest box office success (grossing around $45 million globally against an $11 million budget). However, it’s currently enjoying one of its biggest periods of popularity more than eight years after its theatrical release now that it’s arrived on the world’s biggest streaming service, Netflix.
