Review of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) by Michael Phillips for Chicago Tribune — 15 Nov 2018
It’s a strange, grimly comic collection offering many grotesque sight gags, the occasional moment of seriousness and a general wash of melancholic, photogenic, elegiac Old West atmosphere. I liked the least jokey tale the best; by the time it came along, in the fifth-out-of-six slot, I’d had it with the kidding.
