A gently humanist story of the American West from Max Walker-Silverman (A Love Song), Rebuilding follows Dusty (Josh O'Connor), a reserved, divorced father whose ranch has burned down in a devastating wildfire. Now living in a trailer community on a government-run campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbors who have also lost everything, quietly reassembles his life, and starts reconnecting with his ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) and young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Filmed against the rapturous backdrop of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a ruminative, moving portrait of resilience and human connection in the wake of loss.

Nicolas Rapold Financial Times The film is alive with smart variations in staging, and truly feels more like a time-warp hang-out than a Warholian experiment. Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Natalia Keogan AV Club Rebuilding emphasizes the vitality of mutual aid. Rated: B+ Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) Sincere to a fault, “Rebuilding” has great love for the vast Colorado panoramas and the people in them, and it brings the same empathy toward the kind of Americans who were once called “little people”. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today Working once again with Herrera Salcedo, Walker-Silverman crafts a narrative filled with magnificent landscapes that mirror the moving emotional topography of the characters. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Emily Wheeler Emily Wheeler Movie Ops Rebuilding feels like a labor of love by all involved. Oct 13, 2025 Full Review Jamie Dunn The Skinny Like a country ballad, there’s something undeniably moving in Rebuilding’s almost naive hopefulness. Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
