Synopsis

After wildfires take his ranch, a cowboy named Dusty winds up in a FEMA camp. He finds community with others who lost homes, while reconnecting with his daughter and ex-wife.
Moviegoers are saying
This tender drama has audiences completely smitten with Josh O'Connor's performance as a struggling rancher and girl dad, even as they playfully note his apparent inability to play happy characters. Set against the backdrop of fire country, viewers are finding themselves unexpectedly emotional over this quiet story of rebuilding after tragedy.

If there’s any sense of motion in the film, which is largely defined by its patient camerawork and editing, it’s in Dusty’s gradual recognition of and response to the emotions that accompany his corporal yearning to remain in place.

The importance of community for survival is a dominant theme in Rebuilding, and the bonds explored in the film feel authentically human as opposed to cloyingly optimistic.
