A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Patrick Cremona
Josh O'Connor delivers another brilliantly understated performance in this lovely, low-key drama from writer/director Max Walker-Silverman. He plays Dusty, a cowboy whose livelihood is threatened after wildfires ravage his ranch, leaving him to take up residence at a temporary trailer camp with other victims of the blaze. At the same time, he attempts to bond with his adoring young daughter Callie Rose (Lily LaTorre), whose mother (Meghann Fahy) he is now separated from. Walker-Silverman never reaches for melodrama, favouring a restrained and naturalistic approach that allows the characters and their relationships to feel impressively authentic and heartfelt - with the dynamic between Dusty and Callie Rose especially well judged. Meanwhile, Alfonso Herrera Salcedo's gorgeous cinematography and an Americana-tinged guitar score from Jake Xerxes Fussell and James Elkington give the piece a finely tuned western-movie sensibility. A quiet film that manages to retain a sense of hope and redemption at its heart while largely keeping platitudes at bay, this is a relatively small but no less worthwhile addition to O'Connor's impressive CV.
