A great movie about people who lose things, but come together.

Just yesterday, I did my double feature for the Joel Edgerton movie “Train Dreams” and Josh O’Connor’s latest starring role in “Rebuilding,” and both of them have something to do with forrest fires. “Rebuilding” doesnt show any fires, just a snowy image, but it does take place during the aftermath of a forrest fire in Colorado. It shows us people in FEMA trailers, who struggle to find better opportunities, but manage to connect well as neighbors. But it also shows us a young farmer, who lost almost everything in the fire, and unexpectedly reconnects with his young daughter.

This is the latest entry from writer/director Max Walker-Silverman, who also gave us “A Love Song” a few years ago. And both these movies are set in Colorado and are about people and life. “A Love Song” was about a reunion between old friends, while “Rebuilding” is about people who learn to move forward. And the filmmaker himself grew up in Telluride, Colorado.

The farmer is nicknamed Dusty (O’Connor) and he tries and fails to get a loan from the bank to open a new farm. He’s responsible, no doubt, but you know how these firms work when it comes to location and situations. The fire, crops, and soil-not very good odds at this point. In the meantime, he’s stuck in the trailer camp, where he finds kindness and friendship within his neighbors, all of whom have lost something in the fires.

The one neighbor who stands out is Mali (Kali Reis), who is a single mother with a young daughter. And she also lost her husband, who was trying to save their home from the fire. It doesn’t become a love story between them, but that’s not really what this film is trying to go for. It’s trying to help these people overcome their turmoil and learn to cooperate as friends.

As I mentioned before, Dusty also has a young daughter named Callie (Lilly LaTorre), who is another movie girl to not give us irritating cliches this month after “Rental Family.” This one is learning to read from her school’s iPad, and since the camps have sucky Wifi, she and her father are able to use the local library’s. It’s closed but they’re more than welcome to use it in the parking lot.

Callie lives with her mother Ruby (Meghann Fahy) and grandmother Bess (Amy Madigan), and sometimes has sleepovers at her father’s temporary abode. And maybe this would be a perfect time for him to reconnect with her, and maybe see that there still can be opportunities for him.

“Rebuilding” is guaranteed to bring some tears, as we feel for these characters and what happened to them, but this isn’t a sad movie. It’s more sincere and considerate of them, and tries its best to look for their high spirits to keep them going. They can’t say at the FEMA camps forever, so there’s no telling where they’ll go next. But maybe something will come along.

The performances are filled with humanity and emotions, without ever succumbing to the cliches of estranged families. O’Connor gives an even better performance than in “The Mastermind,” when he expresses the right emotions through his disposition and words. LaTorre makes an impressive movie debut and I like how she becomes prepared with some juice boxes when she comes to her father’s trailer, almost like how a camper is prepared in the woods. And Reis is a fine and truthful when she acknowledges her character’s side of the fire story.

I would have loved to have gotten to know more of the characters in the park, but they are lovable folks, and “Rebuilding” knows and how they feel about what life has brought to them. This is another truthful film from Walker-Silverman.
