Prime Video Just Lost Its Crown Jewel — Taylor Sheridan’s Most Devastating Crime Thriller Has a New Home… and Viewers Say It “Hits Like a Punch to the Chest” This one changes everything. Taylor Sheridan’s most haunting crime thriller — now praised with an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score — has quietly moved to a new streaming platform, and fans say it hits harder than Yellowstone and Sicario combined. What begins as a simple crime scene quickly spirals into a dark, emotionally punishing mystery, dragging viewers into a brutal, unseen world built on Sheridan’s signature realism, bone-deep tension, and raw humanity. Critics call it his most devastating achievement yet. Viewers warn the final twist will leave you staring at the screen in silence. Once it starts, there’s no turning back.

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.

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.

Nobody thought he could do it — rock and symphony weren’t supposed to mix. But when Don Henley stepped onto the New York stage with a full orchestra behind him, the air itself seemed to shift.

By the chorus, 20,000 people were holding their breath, shivers running through the hall. And when the last note faded, Henley whispered that it was all for Glenn Frey — a tribute that turned disbelief into tears…
