It's the beginning of another week and if you're looking to put the feet up with a flick this Monday evening, then you're in luck, as there's a ton of great movies on TV tonight.
Our pick for this evening's telly features is a gritty neo-Western called Wind River, which stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tracker and an FBI agent, respectively, who try to solve a murder on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.
The 2017 flick has a solid 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviews praising the Western-like qualities to the film and the powerful issues it sets out to tackle.
Writer and director Taylor Sheridan, who also wrote Sicario and Hell Or High Water, said that he wrote the film in order to raise awareness of the issue of the real life stories of Indigenous women who fall victim of sexual assault and murder.
Sheridan received particular praise for his directorial debut, with Time Magazine saying: "There's something to be said for a well-crafted motion picture, cinematically astute, that demands that we sit down and pay attention for a solid two hours or so, with no intermittent fridge runs."
You can check out Wind River on Film Four at 11.05pm this evening.
