He doesn't know what happened to her and didn't explain it any further than her body being found 20 miles away from where she was last seen alive.
shareYes and when explaining it to the FBI agent, he said the coyotes had done so much damage to the body, the medical examiner couldn't give a conclusive cause of death.
shareI think it is still a mystery. No reason to think the same thing happened to her.
shareHe only explains that she died of the cold when his son can't sleep and asks about the case he's helping. He's not going to tell his kid that the girl got raped and then ran barefoot in snow until her lungs burst from the cold...
He tells the real story to Elizabeth Olsen's character when she visits his house and sees the daughter's picture.
Essentially, there was a party held at the house while the parents (Renner and Jones) were on a "date night" in a hotel. He explained that his daughters friends invited their friends, and those friends invited more people, until some people showed up that "were not friends."
I think Sheridan ends it there to let the audience imagine what could have happened, which makes it worse (for us) and creates the emotional connection we need, in order to understand why he's assisting in the investigation.
The guy was king tracker. I'm surprised he didn't solve his daughters murder sooner.
shareA flash-back was done, towards the end of "Wind River". She had been gang-raped, and fled across the lake or whatever from the reservation, and a combination of stress, fatigue, and the trauma of being gang-raped, as well as the extreme cold, all served to kill the girl outright.
The ring-leader of the gang that raped the girl also killed the girl's new boyfriend.
This is very confused and inaccurate. It was not Renner's daughter in the flashback at the end, it was Natalie, the victim who was found by Renner and who happened to be her best friend.
And the gang-rape was only a suggestion by the ME at the beginning. In the flashback, we see that the boyfriend's roomie is the one raping her. She comes to and simultaneously, so does the boyfriend and starts fighting, which provokes the final beat down. In the throes of that, he urges her to make a run for it.
This scenario is confirmed at the end when Renner pressures the roomie to confess. He does so, loudly, almost defiantly, affirming "I raped her. " But when it came to the beat down of the boyfriend he was more subdued, confessing, " Yeah, WE beat him dead . "
While it's true that the gang-rape was only a suggestion by the ME at the beginning, I do recall, however, that there was a flash-back of a gang-rape towards the end of the movie "Wind River". I also remember, at the end, that the boyfriend's roomie raped her, but several of the other guys also took turns at Natalie, as well.
Natalie's boyfriend's roomie and his friends also killed Natalie's boyfriend by beating him to death.
I just saw the movie, it was only Pete who raped her in the flashback. After that she fled the trailer.
shareIn the version I saw, it wasn't clear that only Pete raped her. He said something about "my turn," as though the others had already had a turn. Since they didn't want to do jail time, they basically were going to kill them both and hide the bodies.
that was Natalie not Emily ( Lambert's daughter)
shareAt the start of the film, there's a line of text saying that the film is based on actual events.
At the end of the film, there's are a couple of lines of text explaining that there is no system for tracking the disappeared native women.
This film was about the events around Natalie's death, but also about all missing native women that get no such explanation.
If they had also tried to explain Emily's disappearance, they would have not made that former point and I would have been disappointed.
This story was well told and the film was well made, truly an underappreciated / overlooked independent gem of 2017.
We aren’t supposed to know. That whole back story serves two purposes: to give Renner’s character motivation for tracking/hunting down Natalie’s killer, and to underscore that final quote about missing Native American women never being counted or searched for.
shareYes, giving us a little idea of what it must be like when someone disappears and you can never really say "Farewell" to the loved one. Even though you actually know what happened.
