So the Coen brothers do a western, Jeff Bridges at its centre, and turns out it's darn good. In many respects, it's quite a straight western, really, but there's certainly something of a Coen bros flavour to it, most notably in the dialogue but also a bit in how it's shot, and in the sly humour and mingling of tones/registers (funny how those ideas - phrases - both have a musical connotation (origin?), though I use them here in an emotional or 'genre-y' sense). V. enjoyable.
