Loved this kind of mix between A Fish Called Wanda, Fargo goes to the frontier, and an ordinary western. This is great satire of the genre and has some strong feminist themes.

I did audit two courses --including one on westerns-- at the University of Nevada, Reno taught by the movie critic not the TV critic Howard Rosenberg. The TV critic Howard Rosenberg was based in Los Angeles. Howard Rosenberg Former L.A. Times TV Critic Howard Rosenberg Enjoying the Life of Academia - NewspaperAlum

I can see how this movie takes some of the westerns' stock images and does something completely new with them. And the lead actress was gorgeous.
