9/10
A profound anthology film for the making. The Coen Brothers manage to divert their incredible storytelling talent into six fantastic short stories.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs works like Western folklore to cleverly tell stories that feel the same but are still vastly different. While most explore darker and thought-provoking themes, a few also incorporate hilarious moments of black comedy.
All have some form of a message to takeaway. Some might have you walking away not knowing what to make of the situation and others might make you feel unsure if you’d want to acknowledge it.
Regardless, I found every short story thoroughly entertaining; even if there were certain segments that in my opinion were better than others.
For those wanting to see a masterclass in dramatic storytelling, this is as good as it gets. The Coen Brothers continue to bolster their spectacular filmography with another memorable highlight. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is available on Netflix with limited screenings through traditional cinemas.
Yes, it seems that the legendary writer-director duo pair of the screen has decided to venture into modern distribution platforms and what a venture it is.
And for readers that do choose to watch the film, my favourite segments in descending order are:
Segment 5 – The Gal Who Got Rattled
Segment 1 – The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Segment 2 – Near Algodones
Segment 4 – All Gold Canyon
Segment 6 – The Mortal Remains
Segment 3 – Meal Ticket

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Throughout this great scheme of things you’ll secure a B- for effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually confused everybody was first in the particulars. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be much more correct at this point. Having said that, let me say to you what did work. The authoring is certainly highly persuasive and this is probably the reason why I am making an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not really certain of how you appear to connect the points which in turn help to make your final result. For right now I will yield to your issue however trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect your dots much better.
