A surprising, tense, yet thoughtful thriller set on an Indian reservation, Wind River opens with a girl frozen in the snow. Dead, barefoot, clearly having been chased. The jurisdiction in such matters is murky and a lone FBI agent, Jane (Elizabeth Olsen), must work with the local law enforcement (Graham Greene) and a hunter from the parks department, Cory (Jeremy Renner) to figure out the case. The murder brings up past issues for Cory, who is both an outsider to the reservation as a white-man, but also part of it given his children are half-Native American.

Ingrid Goes West
Aubrey Plaza tends to stick to her wheelhouse, but she’s getting better at expanding the limitations that places on her. In her latest film, Ingrid Goes West, she is still dry and aloof, but Ingrid is probably a deeper and darker character than she has played before, give or take her Legion role.
