Beautiful story

We always hear about people losing it all in disasters such as large fires or floods, but we never hear about after the fact. This film explores what happens when those affected by disaster need to live on and rebuild.It starts off slow, but as the characters begin to develop and the story takes hold, it turns into a beautiful story. I am a fan of films that have a deeper meaning other than the obvious which leaves the viewer to interpret what they feel the movie is trying to say. My interpretation was that our main character, Dusty, was not only trying to rebuild his home following a disaster, but also rebuild his relationship with his daughter and his community.Josh O'Connor did such a good job playing Dusty and Lily LaTorre stole the show as his daughter, Callie-Rose.

Quiet, tender, and a western story about recovering

This movie is a good, slow, yet somber tale about recovery, new paths, and the human spirit, with likable nature characters and good naturalistic direction from Max Walker-Silverman.Silverman's previous movie "A Love Song", I personally thought was underrated, and Silverman explores a new territory about the individuals living in the Western world. Filled with some gorgeous camerawork, nice musical score, and presentation, Silverman explores the narrative with somber and touching approaches. Exploring the themes about a man going through the journey to recover his life after a disaster, using some interesting direction choices, that feels reminiscence to Richard Linklater, and how he approaches the storytelling feels nature, somber, and realistic.Alongside with the good sound designs and tone, the performances from the cast were all pretty great. Josh O'Connor continues to impress me as his performance was likable and sweet. Alongside with Meghann Fahy and Lily LaTorre. I'm happy to see Amy Madigan now getting more recognition as well as her performance was quiet, sweet, and somber. These performances really did help to make the characters feel real, nature, and interesting. I actually really enjoyed the characters and really connected with them.The writing does follow a simple structure. However, Silverman approaches it with somber and sensitive tones. Without making it feel cheesy or forced. As the writing does explore some nice themes about family, connections and newfound discovery. Alongside with the good dialogue, my only small compliant is that the pacing does feel a bit uneven at certain points, which does make some moments a little too slow.Overall, this is a really underrated movie that seems to fly under the radar, and I love to see what Max Walker-Silverman does next.

Remembering things that are gone: Rebuilding and the San Luis Valley Wildfires

This 2025 drama film by Max Silverman explores the human spirit, via the 2018 San Luis Valley area wildfires popularly known as the Spring Creek Fire.. It centered on a recently divorced horse rancher, "Dusty" brilliantly played by Josh O'Connor. This film can be interpreted about material culture versus land and life necessities and needed instructional support. The importance of community and interdependency using its storytelling with beautiful acoustic music by Southern folk guitarist, Jake Fusell. Its visuals are full of vast skylines and stretched landscapes - Mexican cinematographer by Alfonso Herrera Salcedo lends his magic talents to the story. In the story, "Dusty" loses everything from an entire home and it's materiality finding himself in a makeshift community (funded by FEMA) of other people who lost everything as well. This encampment is part of the film's magic where many other characters from elderly, children, married couples to a Native American family.In actuality since San Luis Valley stretching from Colorado to New Mexican territory, many Latinx families along with indigenous population were ravished and still needing institutional support for them to get value of loss which not really explored with this film.Another aspect of this poignant story, the relationship between father (Dusty) and daughter, "Lucy" played by Australian actor, Lily LaTorre. This film really can help others to see how a natural disaster can impact people's lives when still no support. Many people are still trying to rebuild since those Wildfires since 2018 other places like California had experience loss due to fires. Interesting enough that the film's director, Walker Silverman is a Colorado native and Amy Madigan played as "Lucy's" grandmother.
