‘Heartland’ Review: Jessica Chastain Does Sturdy Work as a Hard-Edged Former Country Music Star Saddled With a Thriller in Name Only

AI Summary
The Netflix film “Heartland,” written and directed by Shana Feste, follows former country star Misty Jones, played by Jessica Chastain, who has lived in isolation on a Georgia pecan farm for two decades after abandoning Nashville.

Despite its dark tone and period details, the critic finds the two‑hour runtime suspense‑free and ultimately dull.
