Hell or High Water was my favorite movie of 2016. Despite having a bland, studio-dictated title (the working title was far better--Comancheria), Hell or High Water was a tightly written, modern western, and it made me an immediate fan of its screen writer Taylor Sheridan. Wind River is his next film--he wrote and directed it--and it further solidified me as a fan of his. -Brian
