‘Rebuilding’ Review: Josh O’Connor Tries To Find Home Again After Losing Everything In Moving & Timely Drama – Sundance Film Festival


A review of Sundance premiere, 'Rebuilding' starring Josh O'Connor as a cowboy who loses it all in a tragic fire and attempts to put his life together

On top of all that he is living alone after splitting with his wife Ruby (a fine Meghann Fahy) who has moved into her mother Bess’s ( Amy Madigan) nearby house with their young daughter Callie Rose (Lily LaTorre). Dusty not only has to deal with this catastrophe that has claimed his family landmark of a ranch, the big blue barn, and everything it means handed down from grandfather to father to him, but also rebuilding his relationship with the wise-beyond-her-years Callie-Rose who has a hard time adjusting to her visits with her dad in the small makeshift trailer community FEMA formed for these displaced people. Slowly though Dusty ingratiates himself into this instant new trailer community of neighbors in the same boat including Mila ( Kali Reis), and others comprised of local actors the filmmakers found who add genuine grit and truth to it all.
