La donation (2009)

English title: The Legacy.

A medical doctor responds to a job offer at a remote Canadian region; she must fill in for the old general clinician during some time off that he is taking, and after that decide whether she will take the position permanently.

A scene in the movie describes it more than anything I could say. The new doctor is shown a landscape of mostly grass and finds it beautiful; her interlocutor replies that some find it austere. Analogously, I found the film austere; this is not a bad thing, and this is not a bad movie, but to say it is beautiful would require a taste different than mine.
