The greatest feeling that occupied my mind while watching the Coen brothers' new anthology film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was a sense of comfort. I felt, to put it simply, charmed by the storytelling, in a way that I feel most high-profile films today (even the really good ones) don't often achieve. This wasn't because the stories are particularly charming or comforting (for the most part, the opposite was true), but because getting to see two masters of their craft return to the basics of storytelling was simply a delight.
