Review of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) by Keanex — 19 Apr 2020
TBOBS is a wonderfully filmed and acted series of Western shorts that have hit or miss quality. The film runs long and feels like it despite the changeups throughout. I feel that the film would have been stronger with "Meal Ticket" removed, and while I understand why people may like it, it certainly felt like a filler story.
For the most part the rest of the film felt highly engaging and quite enjoyable. I particularly liked the title short as well as the continuity of it in the following short, as well as the tragedy of The Gal Who Got Rattled.
The closing story titled "The Mortal Remains" reminded me much of Hateful Eight in a good way.
