Not every story sticks - the shorter tales fared better than the extended ones - but still an enjoyable, typically Coenesque view of the Old West.

I'm not sure if this would of been better as a tv show or movie but either way it's great. It starts strong with Tim Blake Nelson's singing Buster Scruggs and keeps going. I love the Coen's humor and dialogue. Some of the stories are a little too long but they are all so good. It's a shame that it was given a full theatrical release.

I was quite enjoying the film in the beginning, the Buster Scruggs story was funny and entertaining while being violent enough to feel more serious.

Then, as I was getting into it he dies. Now we have more mini stories, each me a and less entertaining.

I may have been going in blind as I wasn't aware it would be like this, but it's a shame as I could have watched Buster for hours!

I really liked this movie.... I've always liked westerns anyway but this was quite refreshing to watch....

First story very light hearted and amusing, some of the others getting a bit darker leaving a bit to the imagination, I'll not spoil it for anybody but definately worth a watch if you like westerns at all.

Well filmed too with great apsects and atmosphere.

This movie is absolutely different than many films. People say this movie is kinda slow. What do you expect during the early industrial civilization? Absolutely good movie. Must watch.

It's like someone forgot the essence of what a movie story is about.
Instead of a story, we get 4 or 5 short and separated ones, I can't even remember after watching the movie... yet none of the stories is compelling enough because they fall very short with some sort of moral lesson. For all intents and purposes, this cannot be classified as a movie, at most this is the conjunction of several canceled series' pilots. It's not bad, but it's not good if story is important to you. Final words; not memorable at all.

A little dark, a little violent, but very clever and well made. So many of the characters are interesting, detailed, fun to watch and fun to listen to. Even the brief ones. And then the stories are smart and not cliched, and take place in what feels like the genuine old west. All of this combined together makes for a very enjoyable movie. Already want to watch it again.

This movie starts out hilarious and goes quickly downhill. there are 6 stories completely unconnected, each one getting longer and mind-numbingly more boring and pointless as the movie progresses. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, it's a long movie, but I'm going to save almost 2 hours of your life that you can do other things like wash the dishes, pain, talk to the spouse etc... watch the first 2 stories and switch it off.

The first story is fantastic - Tim Blake Nelson is brilliant and the story is very funny 9/10. Story 2 with James Franco is less funny, but still worth watching 6.5/10. The rest of the move 0/10.

A fascinating western anthalogy. Each story was unique, had different tones and themes, creating a thoroughly entertaining experience. The cinematography and performances by the cast really helped to capture the essence of the old west.

The first few tales were short, sweet and funny. Mid way through it becomes a different genre of film, and darker. But that’s okay, because the cast are always great and the twists keep you guessing.

Hold off for awhile and finally watching it was a good choice because it was great and loved all the different stories and some bought comedy, some serious and others surprising with a shocking ending that was dark and loved all the different cast but it did drag a little and the last story I couldn’t really make sense of it but still enjoyed it.
