Home window UV filter

We recently bought a westward facing house that gets brutal sun in the afternoon. While inquiring about curtains, the salesperson first recommended we consider UV light filtering films as a first option to reduce UV light (and related furniture damage) and heat. The original quote we have is nort of $6k, which is not a surprise because the winders are large, the house is old, and one room alone has nearly 200 small window panes.
Query - does anyone have any experience with the light filtering UV films? Do they work? Is your house significantly cooler with them than without? If not significantly cooler, noticeably cooler?

I have UV filter in my upstairs windows that face west on my house.
Bought the film at lowe's and installed myself. Was very easy. Just take your time.

If you have screens on those windows, get you a roll of shade screen and replace your aluminum screens with that. I did, and it cooled my house off a hell of a lot. I did it myself, and just knocked out a couple of screens every day after work. I was through in a week.
