If The Ballad of Buster Scruggs hit the spot, these will too

Joel Coen directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Goes its own way on the stillness

Joel Coen working the same nerve twice
The difference: Lighter on stillness

The same preoccupation in both: bank robbery
The difference: Leans further into crime

The same mix in both: grit, then wit

Playful where it counts, contemplative underneath

Comedy with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both lean on wit more than on western
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Playful drama in both cases

Common ground in both: native american and parody

Comedy built on stillness, twice over

Gritty drama, and it commits to that

Western with a pulse of wit, in both cases
In the mood for more gritty?
