Don't have Netflix so not sure what's available there, and several might not be wife-friendly. Also I enjoy weird, so YMMV.
Funny, "Wind River" is also a film that bordered on traumatic to me.
There's plenty of land here in Wyoming. Houses, not so much. Finding someone to build a house or to do any work on anything is not easy. For that reason I don't think 400k could move here if they wanted to, at least not all at once. Some may not like the snow, cold weather half of the year and the wind east of the Rockies. Some of the people from the mountainous region of northern California may like it. Anyone moving here should be self sufficient and able to fix most things themselves. Some of this can be offset by getting to know all your neighbors and local community.
As a side note Netflix to my surprise released a decent albeit violent movie that shows some of this state called Wind River staring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Jon Bernthal. (2017) Most of the mountain scenes were filmed in Utah. [1] I think it would be incredibly challenging to film the whole thing in the Wind River national forest

No, RT.
For example look at "Wind River". Rating is at 86%
By comparison, some older movies around or lower than that rating:
"The Big Lebowski": 81% "Gladiator": 76% "The Wolf of Wall Streer": 77%
Really? My personal experience with RT is that during the weeks that the movie is actually playing in the theatres, the rating is over inflated. So much that I stopped trusting it.
Take for example “Wind River”. The current score is 84%. You would expect to see an awesome movie for 84%, but it is nothing more than average.
For comparison the movie Gladiator has a score of 76%, and the “The Wolf of Wall Streer” 77%.
