The Mustanger and the Lady (2017)

Female empowerment in a Western!

I cried, I laughed, I was surprised and my heart screamed YES! in support of the heroine. What more could you want from a movie? How about gorgeous cinematography, a fabulous cast/crew and Director, and a script that gives you a great story with believable characters and a challenging and timely topic. Wrap it all in a Western with detailed authenticity and you get this fantastic film. I saw it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time. This sometimes gritty, sometimes soft and subtle film is one I will revisit again for sure. I anticipate seeing more female empowerment Westerns who will take their cues from Painted Woman in the future. Great film!
