Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Just a little too ungainly, too jumbled at the end, for me to recommend, but it has heart, and I feel a lot of affection for it. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 25, 2003 Full Review Allison Benedikt Chicago Tribune The movie, which could have been historically intriguing, ends up more of a generic soap opera. Rated: 2/4 Apr 24, 2003 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Merle Bertrand Film Threat The Scoundrel's Wife looks great and Pitre fills the film with solid performances all around.

Audience Member Scripted by Pitre and his wife, Michelle Benoit, is more interesting for its historical setting than for its rather wooden drama, but Tim Curry gives a pretty good performance as the town's whiskey priest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Nicely made, decent acting and a good story. The period detail is so-so - it could have been better. The Louisiana setting is a plus, it adds flavor to the film. Better than average movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
