    A very proper western, entertaining and suspenseful

    This is one of those movies that you have to watch a second time, in order to catch all the little things you missed the first time. The story is just that well written. Seriously one of the best films i have seen in a while. A western with a plot, a dark sense of humor...i thought i was going to watch a romance, and it is, but it really isnt at all. Its just good movie making.

    The slow narrative choked the life out of the movie...

    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.

    oh boy

    Notice to future myself: Watching mushrooms growing would be more interesting.

    Really Bad. Man this Sucks.

    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.

    True Love is all there is, no room for compromise

    I have to write my first review ever because this movie needs a better rating! I enjoyed it!

    The acting felt true, and the emotions of being able to cross ones boundaries for love is exactly what true Love is all about. Even the most innocent person would be capable of anything to protect the one they love. And when it is about that same loss, I felt her loss in that moment, which is what acting is about.

    I loved the constant drifting from one thing to another, because this is life and if you look to the right or to the left, different stuff is happening. A lot of people died even an innocent dog and therefore the solemn music thru out the movie.

    The ending Wow, let True Love go and it will come back.
