Vignettes weaving together the stories of six individuals in the old West at the end of the Civil War. Following the tales of a sharp-shooting songster, a wannabe bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman traveling the West to an uncertain future, and a motley crew of strangers undertaking a carriage ride.

I loved every story but also I'd watch a 6-hour series just about Buster Scruggs.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs: Death Comes Unexpectedly
Near Algodones: Death is Inevitable, But Sometimes There's Grace
Meal Ticket: Death is Inevitable, There's No Grace
All Gold Canyon: Sometimes You Can Escape Death
The Gal Who Got Rattled: Sometimes You Can't
The Mortal Remains: Sometimes You're Already Dead
A genuinely funny and wonderfully acted version of A Million Ways to Die in the West.
Imagine a bunch of Western-themed Twilight Zone episodes shot in glorious color. (This is a very good thing.)
Love this film and very disappointed that it isn't getting a proper wide theatrical release. I would have greatly preferred to see this on a big screen. I watched it on a 50" television and it felt disrespectful to the film.
Joel Coen & Ethan Coen's second collaboration with French cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel and I hope it continues. He's brilliant.
“PAN SHOT!!!!!!!”
I love the Coen Brothers so much and this is the most Coen Brothers movie that could ever be made. Extremely nihilistic, beautiful, funny, sharp, well-directed, even upsetting at times.
It’s also so long. If this were just three or four of the stories, it would easily be my favorite movie of the year. As much as I fully believe it should be a TV series instead of a singular movie, I also think it’s so beautiful that it should be seen in a theater if you can manage it.
for the longest time i thought that "first time?" meme was from pirates of the caribbean and it took watching this to realize james franco was not in pirates
Finally got around to it.
Some people I know have loved this a lot and others haven’t and I can see why it’s like that. I’m definitely on the side that likes it a lot. The Meal Ticket and Prospector stories were definitely my favorite. As a lot of people have been saying, this thing feels like it’s 3 hours long which bummed me out because while that final part was written incredibly well, I felt like it needed to do some more to keep me invested at that point in the film. To solve this I feel like it could have been as easy as balancing out the lengths of each story. The Bank Robber story felt like there…
glad the three billboards deer found more work
the ‘no animals were harmed in the making of this film’ disclaimer obviously didn’t account for the poor horse who had to film scenes with james franco

I reallllllllly loved the character Buster Scruggs and wished there was so much more of him. That was so sick when he kicked the plank on the table causing the one dude to shoot himself in the face multiple times hahahahaha
the ballad of buster scruggs: ★★★½
near algodones: ★★★
meal ticket: ★
all gold canyon: ★½
the gal who got rattled: ★★★
the mortal remains: ★½
overall: no noise
