Josh O’Connor delivers a restrained but astoundingly expressive performance as cowboy Dusty whose Colorado ranch has been devastated by wildfires.
Thomas, ‘Dusty’, is shattered when his farmland is completely destroyed by fire. With nothing to call his own, he winds up in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) camp, living in a trailer alongside others who have lost their homes. Adversity offers opportunities; Dusty manages to find community with his neighbours while reconnecting with his nine-year old daughter and ex-wife Ruby. Quiet and meditative for a neo-Western, this is a moving portrait of resilience and human connection in the aftermath of loss, set against the backdrop of the magnificent Colorado landscape.
