‘Rebuilding’ Review: Josh O’Connor Tries To Find Home Again After Losing Everything In Tragic Fire In Moving And Timely Drama – Sundance Film Festival
deadline.comTalk about timely.

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).
Finding a temporary roof over his head in a FEMA pop-up trailer park planted in the middle of nowhere but with zero guarantee of stability, Dusty doesn’t quite realize what is happening to his dreams and how it all came to this.
