Finally saw Buster Scruggs. Adored it. The Coen Brothers can swing from looney toons action to existential dread to hope to desperation all with a degree of control most will never touch.

And god do I wish they stayed away from the Native American tropes.

It's very problematic when two white filmmakers make a western where Native Americans are nothing more than forces of violence, interrupting the march of Manifest Destiny. I hated the film, even though it was magnificently crafted. Nihilism with a hint of humor.

And the nihilism was never earned. It was just "ha people died in the west, get it?" I adore almost every Cohen film, but this is easily their most tone deaf and cynical.
