Heartland (Amazon Prime) is a 1979 drama film starring Rip Torn and Conchata Ferrell. The film is a stark depiction of early 1910 Wyoming homestead life. It is based on a memoir by Elinore Pruitt Stewart, titled Letters of a Woman Homesteader (1914). The book can be read online at this link. In 1985, the Elinore Pruitt Stewart Homestead, where she and her family lived, was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This is a quiet story, the story of a family, a powerful film. I highly recommend this movie.
