Elizabeth Olsen in Roland Mouret at ‘Wind River’ LA premiere: lovely or meh?

Here are some photos from last night’s premiere of Wind River, a film written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (who also wrote Sicario, just FYI). I thought Wind River wasn’t coming out until the fall, but the release date is August 4th. Weird. It seems like just the kind of film which would be at home with an October release, but maybe the studio didn’t want it to get lost in the Oscar-release shuffle. Generally speaking though, an August release date is a bad omen for gritty dramas.

Still, Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner are doing their best to sell this film. Olsen wore this rather good Roland Mouret dress to the premiere – it’s from Mouret’s Fall 2017 collection. Someone tweeted at me that Olsen looks “pregnant” here, but I don’t really see it? I absolutely think that Olsen “dresses pregnant” a lot of the time (see these photos), but this ensemble isn’t the best example. Besides, if she is knocked up, few people will care, because her current boyfriend is a gigantic “WHO?” While I like the Mouret dress here, her hair is awful and her makeup is too pink/red. I loathe when women wear that pinky-bronze eye makeup because it makes them look sickly.

Renner looks… well, he looks like himself, with a pompadour. Renner reportedly signed on to this film because he really wanted to work with Taylor Sheridan and Elizabeth Olsen, and Olsen and Renner reportedly got along really well during filming. I have to admit, I think this movie looks good. You guys know I like a crime story though. This is like… winter noir. Snow noir.
