The first 17 minutes were the highlight, and it went downhill from there. That first segment, "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs", was excellent. I could watch an entire movie based on that character, played extremely well by Tim Blake Nelson. It was interesting and funny.
"Near Algodones" kept me interested, and I enjoyed the characters, but there was no take away, so it kind of fell flat.
"Meal Ticket" was worthless and should have been cut altogether. It was extremely boring and sad.
"All Gold Canyon" and "The Gal Who Got Rattled" were enjoyable and interesting. Good characters and beautiful cinematography. Both segments kept my interest.
"The Mortal Remains" had some interesting dialogue but it fell off and didn't seem to have a point.
So one segment was fantastic, three others were pretty good, and two were completely forgettable. A mixed bag, but I generously give it a 6/10.
