The Coens achieve the simple but difficult task of creating refreshing entertainment by resorting to what they do best: cinema as it was meant to be in its golden age. [Full review in Spanish]

The Coens' signature dry humour and brilliant, often unexpected story rhythms are employed in every chapter to stunning effect.

Taken as a whole, it's smart, snappy filmmaking from the duo who, 30-plus years into their careers, are still revealing new tricks hidden up their sleeves.

"The Coens have directed a magnificent nathology not only of the western cinema, but of their own filmography".

Pure, uncut Coen brothers, with a little bit of just about everything they've ever done hiding inside one or more of the chapters.

You'd think with viewers' short attention spans and love of binge-watching, it would be the perfect format for today. But "Buster Scruggs" is mostly unengaging.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is the perfect Coen Brothers' movie, albeit sliced and diced.

Though the stories are individually captivating and very much worth the price of admission-see the film on a big screen if you can-they fit together awkwardly.

After a darkly hilarious musical number, the Buster story loses steam in its goofy closing moments - but that's OK, it's time to move on to the next chapter!
