The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

2019.04.21
Beautifully shot, even factoring in how much I like desert and wild west imagery, its still good enough to watch with the sound off. And maybe I should, because the stories are not compelling. I like anthologies, so a few stories around a theme sounds great, but something about the people and their situations just doesn't work for me. I got about halfway through and got distracted, so I don't know if I'm coming back.

Also, I think my ability to watch westerns normally may be ruined now, as I keep expecting Westworld like situations to pop up in the flow of Old West storytelling.
