Moviecut—She Was the Deputy's Wife

The film is well shot, with a good story and good acting. The problem is twofold though. The pace of the story is just too slow and the score is mundane and depressing. Mills' directing looks good, and the cinematography is very good, but maybe it's the way the film was edited that creates the slow pace. There's really no excuse for the poor score. If you watch any good western from any era, the score really adds to all of them. Mill's has made a number of really solid westerns recently and they all seem to have these two unfortunate flaws that keep them from really reaching the next level. If you're a western fan, give it a watch, but know it's flawed.

Well, from the movie's cover/poster, then I have to say that I didn't figure that I would be in for anything particularly extraordinary since the cover looked like something that was made in an Arts & Crafts class. And never having heard about "She Was the Deputy's Wife", from writers Mario Mattei and Travis Mills, I must admit that I didn't harbor much of any expectations. So why watch it? Well, on the off chance that the movie would actually turn out to be good, entertaining, watchable or surprising, of course. Well, and also because "She Was the Deputy's Wife" was a movie that I hadn't already seen before. But I have to say that the movie was just rather slow paced, almost to the brink of where it slipped over the edge and became boring. The concept idea of the story was good enough, but the movie just lacked forward momentum, action and interesting characters to carry it forward. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "She Was the Deputy's Wife", but I will say that the actors and actresses did fair enough jobs, given the restrictions of a slow paced narrative and not really having much to work with in terms of properly written characters and dialogue. I will say that the atmosphere in the movie was actually good enough, it felt and looked like a Western movie, at least. If you enjoy Western movies, then perhaps you will get a little kick out of watching the 2021 movie "She Was the Deputy's Wife". I am not overly keen on the Western genre, so I didn't particularly enjoy this movie from director Travis Mills. Sure, it was semi-watchable, but that was about all it had to offer for me. My rating of "She Was the Deputy's Wife" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

I almost never write bad reviews for Indy movies, and especially Westerns. It's really easy to please me and I love low budget flicks. Just check my reviews. But man, this one just needs someone to voice reason and is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It pains me to say it. The acting was good. It just has no reason to exist. There is absolutely nothing compelling about the story or anything that happens. Who bloody cares? And the soundtrack is so freaking annoying. It plays the same song over and over again no matter what the emotion is supposed to be on the screen. And the kicker was, at the end credits the same of played. And it was really bad. I mean I love simple, computer program scores. But it didn't fit anything that was going on. I bought this movie because I figured it would be hard to wreck a western like this. But it really is so very boring, with no reason to exist. I had to watch it in installments like eating my peas. Because it was so awful. Again, the actors were good and the scenery and cinematography was fine. Just so utterly uninteresting and dumb. Literally the worst movie I have ever seen and I am a movie buff who loves cheesy cult and b-grade cinema. I will not watch another one of the 12 months of westerns or whatever this guy does.

I really enjoyed watching this film! It was very well done as every Travis Mills Western. Sheriff Bob was probably my favorite and all the characters did a phenomenal job and I was not expecting the twist and turns in the movie.. I love seeing sweet Bandit Mills under the desk!! It was definitely worth the hour and 30 mins to hear the line "come with me" I loved all the graphics, and the story with this Western! Hard to pick a favorite as I watch all of the twelve westerns!

Refreshing take on a western! Very enjoyable! Authentic Western lovers will add this one of Travis' #12WeaternsIN12Months endeavor.

This film will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a unique story with some incredible twists. The acting is excellent as is the cinematoraphy. I've been back to watch it several times to catch all the subtleties in the action and dialogue. The characters evoke strong reactions, even more so when a plot twist challenges your perception of reality as the film presents it. This is my favorite of the 12 Westerns that have been release on-line so far.

I liked the way the main character went back in time and told how she got to the present. Good story!

Really enjoyed this western. It has an unusual plot line for a western more reminiscent of a Shakespeare story. The basic story is about a women who feels trapped in her life and marriage until she meets a young horse thief. She falls for him whilst helping out at his brother-in-laws ranch where he is hiding horses that he has stolen. The women is enamoured by one of the horses, a white mare, not because of the horse itself but because of the lost freedom the horse represents. The main part of the story revolves around an unscrupulous marshal who wants the white mare for himself and he is willing to do anything to get it. The film is apparently part of a series of 12 films although I have been able to locate any of the other 11 so far. Definitely a film to watch as long as you are not after a shoot-them-up cowboy film.

The casting of the characters was excellent, cinematography awesome, editing was spot on, writing was authentic to the era. One small concern at the end the deputy's wife should have been holding a gun also; while escaping with the horse rustler. She could have handled herself. Of course, the terrific ending might have been weakened.
