Dir. Max Walker-Silverman / 2025 / 95 mins / USA / English / Drama / Australian Premiere

In this heart-wrenching rural drama, Josh O’Connor plays a rancher rising from the ashes of a wildfire that destroys his home.

An inferno sweeps through Colorado and ravages the ranch that the family of Dusty (Josh O’Connor, La Chimera, MIFF 2023) have owned for four generations. Seeking lodging, he ends up in a FEMA campsite – a stone’s throw from where his nine-year-old daughter, Callie-Rose (young Australian actor Lily LaTorre, Runt, MIFF 2024), now lives with his ex-wife, Ruby (Meghann Fahy). As he settles in, he finds himself connecting not only with his daughter, who frequently visits the site, but also with the other displaced residents, including a widow, a lesbian couple, a kindly plumber and a woodsman. Forced out of his solitary comfort zone, Dusty learns that he needs to reconstruct more than just his fire-wrecked property.

Max Walker-Silverman’s follow-up to A Love Song (MIFF 2022) is another beautifully frank portrait of rural America, this time inspired by his grandmother’s experience of a calamitous blaze. Reuniting with cinematographer Alfonso Herrera Salcedo, Walker-Silverman captures Colorado’s sublime landscape and skies, providing an awe-inspiring backdrop to O’Connor’s quietly formidable performance as a man at once hardened and hopeful. A hymn to resilience and solidarity, Rebuilding is also a tender tale of self-renewal, in which even a rugged cowboy can be moulded into a better version of himself.

“A work of subtle but deep emotion … Nature is a force to be reckoned with but in Walker-Silverman’s films the energy of empathetic human nature is shown to be just as powerful.” – Screen Daily

I watched it today.

A beautiful quiet movie. I liked it a lot.

I watched it also, and couldn't have summed it up better: A beautiful, quiet movie!

It's another of what I like to call 'slice-of-life' movies. Moonee also had a good quote:

Lily LaTorre is such a cutie...and she does not disappoint, very good actress

She's just fun to look at onscreen: When she's not talking or the scene isn't focused on her, she STILL looks engaged in what's going on. Sometimes you watch an actor when someone else is talking and you can tell they're just waiting to say their next line. Not Lily.

Lily's face has a serenity and contemplative look about her; like she's listening and mulling over what is going on..

And those freckles....

Well worth watching if you're in the mood for a slow-moving, character driven film that takes a little emotional investment on your part. It's not a classic film, or an emotional roller coaster, but by the end of the movie you'll feel satisfied. Like ghost said:

A beautiful quiet movie.

kev.
