Rebuilding Ratings & Reviews
Denver Post
John Wenzel
"Rebuilding" is rare in that it resists the pull of grim, prestige-picture drama, which would certainly be justified for the subject matter. Walker-Silverman instead steers toward the wistful and bucolic, depicting beauty and devastation at once.
In Review Online
Emily DuGranrut
A rebuilt script might have smoothed the whole into a better balance, but in its final form here, everything seems to sink into an unfortunate quicksand of sentimentality.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This is a quiet drama with good performances and a fine feel for the stark rural landscapes of southern Colorado. But the air of hard-scrabble authenticity once again borders on overkill.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
Walker-Silverman drives it all, using a form of minimalism that relies on meditative pacing and a unique visual language. Through it he's able to tell an affecting and resonating story of resilience and self-discovery. It's impossible not to be moved.
One Heat Minute
Blake Howard
Rebuilding is not a film of grand catharsis. Its beauty lies in accumulation: the glances exchanged, the chores shared, the small kindnesses that form a scaffolding around trauma.
Mac the Movie Guy
John Stark
Josh O'Connor is a compelling reason to slog through rebuilding, but this film felt three hours long while only being half that length.
Film Obsessive
Don Shanahan
You are not looking down on any perceived lack of ceremony or decorum, because what's there and the people putting together this personal tribute are beautiful and caring in their own right. Rebuilding crafts this level of care into its entire narrative.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It does have a certain low-keyless that is affecting, and Josh O'Connor is very good in it. It's just that, ultimately, it doesn't amount to a whole lot.
Los Angeles Times
Tim Grierson
The story's studied minor-key tone can occasionally come across as mannered, yet "Rebuilding" possesses its own delicate grace, especially once Dusty endures other losses - some personal, others more existential.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
O'Connor's lived-in performance is a beauty in this fragile, quiet reminder that even when life is precarious, there's hope that something will emerge that is just as important to protect and cherish.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Josh O'Connor adds another triumph to his growing list of exceptional performances as a Colorado father broken by divorce and a raging wildfire. Bring handkerchiefs
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
One could surmise that it takes a village of women to save a stubbornly reticent man. But the lesson of "Rebuilding" is gentler, broader and timelier: Accepting help is a necessary step toward offering it to others in lasting ways.
AV Club
Natalia Keogan
Rebuilding emphasizes the vitality of mutual aid.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Sincere to a fault, "Rebuilding" has great love for the vast Colorado panoramas and the people in them, and it brings the same empathy toward the kind of Americans who were once called "little people".
Slant Magazine
Marshall Shaffer
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.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a gentle, empathetic ode to resilience-a story of a man at a crossroads he never planned to reach.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Loath as I am to label anything as "the movie people need right now," it's hard to think of Max Walker-Silverman's "Rebuilding" in any other terms at the moment.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
I found it to be a semi-dud, the sort of movie that's way too self-consciously austere, and then tries to take all that paced-like-Antonioni-on-a-saddle dryness and drown it in sentimentality.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Walker-Silverman is a filmmaker who doesn't hew to formulaic arcs, and it would be a mistake to interpret quietness as tranquility or ease. Something more complex and rewarding than surface tension is at play here.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A lyrical tale of combatting misfortune via community.
