Roller blackout blinds are pretty cheap and easy to install, so testing their effectiveness isn't too spendy. You could for example do one window with film, one with a blind and one with both, then see who wins. It's not like the problem will go away on its own, unless you move :)

Have you considered plantation shutters? And cork?

We have a couple of rooms with large windows that face West. In summer, these rooms become unusably hot during the afternoon.
We cureently have basic blinds (not blackout or solar reflective etc)
We are considering either window films or solar reflective blinds. We'd prefer solar reflective blinds as having loads of light is great at other times of year.
Anybody have any experience with using blinds for reflecting solar radiation?
