the entire six story film is magnificently filmed, cast, and true to life from first to last. two of the stories stand out for me among the best cinema I have ever seen, Meal Ticket - in which Liam Neesan and Harry Melling are so good either could have won an Oscar. And the opening story, the ballad of Buster Scruggs, shows Tim Blake Nelson hold the screen on this own; shooting, killing, laughing, singing , playing a banjo and overall gives us an incredible one man show.
