Character-rich, strikingly photographed, with occasional humor and deft moments of poignancy, the uniquely talented Coen Brothers add another gem to their long list of treasures with their Netflix film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It’s an anthology of six short films that take place in 19th-century post-Civil War era during the settling of the Old West. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs swerves from goofy to ghastly so deftly and so often that you can’t always tell which is which.
