I usually dislike movies that are considered "slow burns." The Wind falls in that category, yet it still captivated me with high-quality filmmaking. The musical score and directing combine forces to create an affecting atmosphere. Add in some nonlinear storytelling and you compensate for any slowness felt.
I was locked in for the first two thirds of the movie. It started to lose me a little in the final act, until the conclusion gave it the oomph it needed.

This movie pulls off ambiguous very well. Not just with the overall horror element possibly being due to an unreliable narrator who huffs chemicals, but with what actually transpired in some of the past events. The one that stands out the most is the scene where she's performing a C-section on Emma, who she just killed. Did she also kill the baby during the C-section?
This was a nice alternative to what I suspected, which is that the husband killed their own baby and now was somehow involved in this one.
