Nitram

Caleb Landry-Jones somehow is able to mimic an Australian accent which would have fooled me if I hadn't read a synopsis before watching the film. Nitram is an outcast with no friends who is mocked by others and it builds to a resentment of a society of so-called "normal" people. Circumstances lead to a horrible real life tragedy Down Under. The cast is superb and story well told. So far, Nitram is one of my ten best movies of the year.

The main actor did an amazing job with the Aussie accent, as well as conveying so much while barely speaking. If you're not into arty, slow, quiet films then this won't be for you.

The fragility of serenity, shattered by hostility, insanity and marginiality, supported through ineffective laws, ignorance and depravity. An awful story of disbelief with performances that leave you aghast at the events that took place, the processes that led up to them, and wondering just how far away we are from the next one and if anything could ever be (genuinely) done in prevention.

Nitram is the difficult story of a very emotionally disturbed young man and the circumstances of his life that led to utter tragedy. The film is more a character study than anything else and for that reason it can be very hard to watch. Caleb Landry Jones shines in the leading role and engages the viewer in this sad and tragic story, fully encompassing the suffering and cruelty of the real life man the story portrays. I don't think enough can be said about his performance, but this film won't be for everyone.

"Nitram" is a Thriller movie in which we follow some events before the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on Tasmania that present how this massacre happened and what led to it.

I found this movie very interesting because showed us step by step the way to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on Tasmania and made us understand the reason behind it and the importance of some measures that established after that. The direction which was made by Justin Kurzel was very good and he presented very well this sensitive subject from a different perspective. The interpretation of Caleb Landry Jones who played as Nitram was simply amazing and he made the difference on this movie. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Judy Davis' who played as Mum, Essie Davis' who played as Helen and Anthony LaPaglia's who played as Dad. Lastly, I have to say that "Nitram" is an amazing thriller and I strongly recommend you to watch it.
