Slow West (2015)

When the woman he loves flees to America with her father, a Scottish kid decides to find her. Jay is utterly unprepared for the journey, but is soon joined by a "brute" who offers to guide him west to find her.

It's a thoroughly enjoyable trek viewed in a series of vignettes: the trading post visit, splitting up, getting drunk, etc. It's not a comedy, but there are moments of levity and an economy of language that allowed me to enjoy the journey along with them. The vibe reminded me rather strongly of "The Gal Who Got Rattled" segment in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
