Grim, but definitely worth the watch, especially if you like the Coen's other work.
I was shocked to find out who played the quadriplegic. A definite break from typecasting.

Plan to watch it at some point. Sounds almost like it could be one of those limited 6 or more episode season TV anthology series (like "Black Mirror"), only jammed into a 133 minutes total, as a film. Who knows, with Noah Hawley apparently tired of "Fargo", maybe another Cohen Bros classic will be tapped as a project by somebody. (Woops, guess there's finally a 4th season of "Fargo" in the works after all.)

Some of the stories are a lot shorter than others, so probably not good as episodes.
