A review by nickdleblanc
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

4.0

I half-wish they had taken the time to turn this vignette screenplays into proper short stories (hence the 4 stars rather than 5). Unlike with some screenwriting, I think there is the mileage with this to make a successful play at more traditional story format. Much more-so than QT's attempt with OUATIH. The film is great, and if you enjoyed the film you will enjoy the screenplay. Of course some of the wonderful acting and music is lost, but you can easily see why these guys consistently make amazing films--it's all there in the writing, it just needs to be extrapolated for the screen.
