Rebuilding      
USA 2025

Location: SilverCity
Showtimes: 6:30 & 8:15 pm

Director: Max Walker-Silverman
Cast: Josh O’Connor, Meghann Fahy, Lilly LaTorre, Amy Madigan
Runtime: 96 minutes
Language: English

Awards: National Board of Review: Top Ten Independent Films; San Diego Film Critics: Best Body of Work—Josh O’Connor. 

“A lyrical tale of combating misfortune via community.”--Nick Schager, Daily Beast 

Finding a way forward after tragedy is essentially what “Rebuilding” is about: the film focuses on Josh O'Connor's Dusty, a rancher who loses his home in a wildfire after it destroys the 200 acres his family has owned for generations. There’s an implication that the ranch was his whole life.

Dusty’s not the only one who lost something, though. Sequestered in a FEMA outpost of a scattered grouping of mobile homes, he meets others who were affected by the fires, including an elderly couple, a kind recluse, and a single mother (Kali Reis). Their temporary housing sits in the middle of vast brush land with mountains in the distance reaching towards the sky.

In town, Dusty's ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) lives with their daughter Callie Rose (Lilly LaTorre) and her mother Bess (Amy Madigan). Now that land he’s called home is destroyed, Dusty is unmoored, searching for purpose in a barren landscape that seems indifferent to the people who call it home.

He contemplates moving to Montana to work on his cousin's land, but Ruby and Bess point out how that would impact Callie Rose, who clearly looks up to her father even as she acts as if she doesn't really need him. Because Dusty lost his home, his desire to pack up and leave to look for community elsewhere becomes almost overwhelming.

What Dusty doesn't expect is to find that there is community right before him in the middle of nowhere. “Rebuilding” takes a patient, contemplative approach to its story, letting us discover the ways community organically forms around loss and tragedy without overwhelming you with an overbearing sadness. There is always hope.

NO OTHER CHOICE

No Other Choice   
South Korea 2025

Location: SilverCity
Showtimes: 6:30 & 9:00 pm

Director: Park Chan-wook
Cast: Lee Byung, Soon Ye-jin, Woo Seung
Runtime: 139 minutes
Language: Korean with English subtitles

Awards: Florida Film Critics Circle Awards: Best Director; Stockholm Film Festival: Best Film; Toronto International Film Festival: International People’s Choice Award; Savannah Film Festival: Audience Award; Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards: Best Foreign Language Film;  Boston Online Film Critics Association: Best International Film. 13 more wins; 79 nominations

“A deliciously dark satire that is highly amusing while packing a socioeconomic punch.”—Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews.

Park Chan-wook is a master of incisive, darkly comic tales. Featuring megastar Lee Byung Hun, Park Chan-wook’s latest film transplants a crime novel by the great Donald E. Westlake — whose work supplied source material for such films as “Point Blank” and “Payback” — to present-day South Korea, where seniority counts for little and looking for employment proves to be a cutthroat business.

Man-soo (Lee) had it all: a loving wife, two talented children, two happy dogs. He even bought the beautiful forest-enclosed house where he grew up. Then, after 25 years of dedicated work for Solar Paper — where he was awarded Pulp Man of the Year in 2019 — Man-soo is suddenly given the axe.

Soon he is falling behind on his mortgage payments and his wife Mi-ri (Son Yejin) insists they put the house up for sale. Man-soo is desperate to scoop a coveted position with Moon Paper, but he knows there are other job seekers who match his pedigree. So he hatches a plan: invent a phony paper company, reach out to each of his rivals, lure them into a meeting… and, one by one, dispatch the competition.

Brilliantly scripted by Park Chan-wook, Lee Kyoung-mi, Jahye Lee, and Toronto’s own Don McKellar, “No Other Choice” is a chilling satire on workplace politics and ruthless status-seeking. In Park Chan-wook’s world, given the right set of circumstances, anyone can be driven to murder. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

SENTIMENTAL VALUE

Sentimental Value 
​Norway, France, United Kingdom  2025

Location: SilverCity
Showtimes: 6:30 & 9:00 pm

Director: Joachim Trier
Cast: Stellan Skarsgård, Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas Running Time: 135 minutes
Language: English & Norwegian with English subtitles

Awards: Boston Society of Film Critics Awards, Las Vegas Film Critics Society Awards, Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Awards: Best International Film; Best Supporting Actor, Stellan Skarsgård; National Board of Review: Best Supporting Actress, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas; Top Five International Films; San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle: Best Original Screenplay. 24 other wins, 199 nominations.

“There has rarely been a film in which the family dynamic is more genuinely defined than in this one.”—Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com .
With its extraordinary performances and wealth of insight as the story of a family struggling to face its rocky history and confronting the price of living for one’s art, Joachim Trier’s new feature represents another high watermark for the Norwegian director.

Winner of the Grand Prix at this year’s Cannes festival, “Sentimental Value” portrays the myriad repercussions of a once-great filmmaker’s effort to recapture his past glory. 

A man who’s always prioritized his work, Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård) is long estranged from his daughters Nora (Renate Reinsve), a gifted stage actress, and the more grounded Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), now immersed in family life years after performing in one of her father’s most revered movies. He finds a surprising source of support after a Hollywood star, Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning) discovers his films at a festival retrospective. 

As preparation for Gustav’s new movie begins with Rachel in the role that Nora had rejected, the uniquely personal nature of his script — based on a tragedy that took place in the house that remains central to the Borgs’ lives — draws the family members together again in ways they could not predict.

As nuanced as it is empathetic, Trier’s screenplay with long-time collaborator Eskil Vogt brings the best out of the formidable duo of Skarsgård and Reinsve. It also elicits comparably exquisite turns by Fanning and from Lilleaas, who deserves the same kind of attention that Reinsve earned for Trier’s 2021 hit ‘The Worst Person in the World.”
